While we wait for Euphoria Season 3, Zendaya is still booked and busy. Get ready for the hard hitting and steamy sports drama, Challengers, coming out April 26, 2024.
The Game Is On In Challengers
Tashi (Zendaya) has transformed her husband, Art (Mike Faist), into one of the most renowned grand slam champions in history. However, recently, Art has run into a losing streak. Tashi then makes him play a “Challenger” event. However, Art then finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and former boyfriend (Josh O’Connor).
Hard Hitting Star Power Behind the Scenes
Zendaya is not only starring in the film, but is also producing as well. This is not her first time, as she also was a producer for Euphoria season 2. Euphoria saw her as the youngest producer to ever be nominated for an Emmy Award.
The rest of the producing team has a lot of producing star power themselves. Amy Pascal is best known for her work on Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Rachel O’Connor worked with Pascal on Far from Home, and also Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Luca Guadagnino is not only producing, but is also directing Challengers. Film buffs may recognize his directorial style from Bones and All, Suspiria (2018), and Call Me By Your Name.
Executive Producer Bernard Bellew produced on T2 Trainspotting, 127 Hours and was even the second assistant director on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Justin Kuritzkes wrote the screenplay for Challengers, working closely with Luca Guadagnino. Fans can see this pair working together in the future, as Kuritzkes is also adapting William S. Burroughs’ 1985 novel Queer, starring Daniel Craig.
