‘Challengers’ ending explained: what happens between Art and Patrick?
standout soundtrack, Challengers is one of the best films of 2024.Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the spicy sports drama follows professional tennis champion Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) who is plotting a career comeback with the help of his wife Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), a former tennis rising star who was forced to retire due to an injury.At a tournament, however, Art is matched against Patrick Zweig (Josh O’Connor), who is his former best friend and his wife’s ex lover.Along with starring in the film, Zendaya also serves as a producer alongside Guadagnino, Rachel O’Connor and Amy Pascal.The entirety of Challengers is told in a nonlinear fashion, as the love triangle between Art Donaldson, Tashi Duncan and Patrick Zweig is unraveled through flashbacks in the build-up to the climactic tennis match in the present.A day prior to the match between Art and Patrick, Tashi tells her husband Art that if he loses the match, she will leave him – in what’s pitched as a motivator to spur him to win in order to get his tennis career back on track. Later on, Tashi meets with Patrick to ask him to throw the match in Art’s favour, and while he hesitantly agrees, the pair end up briefly rekindling their past romance and have sex in the back of a car.At the match in the present, just as Patrick looks to throw the match by losing points with foul serves, he communicates to Art that he had sex with his wife the night prior by placing his tennis ball against the centre of his racket before his serve – something he did years prior when he first started dating Tashi.

Even Zendaya is unsure if ‘Euphoria’ will return for Season 3: ‘It’s beyond me’
Zendaya says even she’s not sure if the series will ever return for a third season, according to Variety.HBO announced March 25 that Season 3 of “Euphoria” was being postponed — but that the network and series creator Sam Levinson “remain committed to making an exceptional third season.”“In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities,” an HBO spokesperson told Variety at the time.Zendaya, who plays Rue on the HBO series, told Variety Tuesday night — at the LA premiere of “Challengers” — that she wants the show to return, but is unaware of when or if Season 3 will begin production.“If it’s right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course” she told Variety about a third season — adding that she’s “not in charge” of whether or not the show will return, even though she’s an executive producer of the series.“But it’s beyond me,” she said.Production on Season 3 had already been delayed due to the double-whammy WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood and the death last July of co-star Angus Cloud, who played drug dealer Fez. Cloud was 25 and his death was ruled an accidental overdose due to a combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepine and other drugs.HBO announced last November that “Euphoria” would return in 2025 — but that was before the March postponement.Days after HBO announced the postponement of “Euphoria,” co-star Storm Reid, who plays Rue’s younger sister, Gia, spoke publicly about the news in an interview with Variety at the opening of USC’s new School of Dramatic Arts’ Drama Center.“I would hope the viewers, the audience will be able to finish the show,” she said.
