We never thought that a collaboration between “Euphoria” and “The Crown” would result in a pro tennis tournament, but here we are. On February 11, MGM announced that Zendaya and Josh O’Connor would star together in Luca Guadagnino’s new romantic drama “Challengers”. Written by playwright Justin Kuritzkes, the film is produced by Zendaya, Guadagnino and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” creator Amy Pascal.
In the film’s first trailer, which MGM released on June 20, Zendaya appears as rising tennis star Tashi Duncan. She meets two other young athletes on the track, played by O’Connor and Faust, and they soon become embroiled in a threesome. When Tashi is injured, Faust’s character runs to her. She changes her tennis career to become his coach and wife. All goes well until Patrick Van O’Connor re-enters their lives years later. The entire energetic clip is soundtracked by Rihanna’s “S&M”.
Learn more about the upcoming film, including the full story and release date, and stream the trailer.

According to Variety, “Challengers” takes a look at the competitive world of tennis through the eyes of player-turned-coach Tashi Duncan (Zendaya). Through years of coaching, Tashi has made her husband, Art (Faust), a Grand Slam tennis champion. When Art falls into a losing streak, Tashi tries to help him find his rhythm again by signing him up for “Challenger” events at the lowest pro tournament level. During the competition, Art must compete against Patrick (O’Connor), aka Tashi’s ex-boyfriend and former best friend.
