MGM has released a final trailer for director Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming sports drama Challengers, which is set in the world of tennis.
The movie stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy who is forced to coach after suffering an injury. She also gets involved with two players and it’s a love triangle that gets intense.
Tashi is described as “a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court.” In the film, she is “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.”
I also included a behind the scenes featurette that you can watch before that offers some insight on the making of the film and the story it tells.
The movie is described as being “one of the sexiest movies ever made,” and it’s set to be released later this week on April, 25th 2024.
