Zendaya stars as pro tennis player Tashi opposite O’Connor and Mike Faist (“West Side Story”).

Challengers center on 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.

Zendaya trained for three months with pro tennis coach and former player Brad Gilbert. In addition to training with Zendaya, Gilbert served as a consultant on the film. Guadagnino was also joined by screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes (“Ticklish”) and his “Bones and All” collaborators Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who are composing the film’s score.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” producer Amy Pascal serves as producer on the film, alongside Guadagnino and exec producer Bernard Bellew.
