‘Challengers’ Trailer: Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist Star in Lucas Guadagnino’s Sexy Tennis Love Triangle
Charna Flam Could Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film be a “love” story for the ages? Guadagnino’s latest feature, “Challengers,” has finally released its first trailer, providing a highly anticipated look at Zendaya and Josh O’Connor in what’s being billed as a romantic sports comedy film. Zendaya stars as pro tennis player Tashi opposite O’Connor and Mike Faist (“West Side Story”). “Challengers” follows Tashi and her husband, Art (Faist), as they reunite with a former rival, Patrick (O’Connor) — who also happens to be Tashi’s former lover and best friend. Tashi convinces Art to enter the Challengers tennis tournament, but once Art learns he’ll be playing against Patrick, drama — and major competition — ensues.
