It’s going to be a while before we get the next season of Euphoria, and if The Idol on HBO isn’t really your thing, you can catch Zendaya in some more drama with the upcoming movie from director Luca Guadangnino.
Check out the trailer for Challengers:
The official description of the film reads:
From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist – West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor – The Crown) – his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.
Guadagnino is no doubt a critical darling when it comes to indie drama, so I can imagine a lot of fans that follow his work will be excited for Challengers. It’s kind of funny that Zendaya would find herself as the lead, seeing that Guadagnino’s most highly-regarded films star Timothee Chalamet—who is Zendaya’s love interest in Dune.
Who knows, maybe Chalamet could make some kind of small appearance, like he did in Don’t Look Up.
Challengers is set to hit theaters on Sept. 15.
