Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Challengers‘ is reportedly set to premiere in Australia later this month on March 26th, with Zendaya, Mike Faist, Josh O’Connor, and producer Rachel O’Connor scheduled to attend.
Directed by Guadagnino from a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes. The film also stars Scottie DiGiacomo, Faith Fay, Cornel Bradford, Jake Jensen, Keanu Ham, Christine Dye, A.J. Lister, Carlyne Fournier, Joe Curtin, Emelia Camille Harewood, Sid Jarvis, Charles Massey, Sam Xu, Connor Murray, and Cameen M Copeland.
The film is rated R in the US by the MPAA for language, sexual content, and graphic nudity. Recently, Zendaya shared a new poster for ‘Challengers’.
Tashi, a former tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event — close to the lowest level of the tournament on the pro tour. Tensions soon run high when he finds himself standing across the net from the once-promising, now burnt-out Patrick, his former best friend, and Tashi’s former boyfriend.
Produced by Luca Guadagnino, Rachel O’Connor, Amy Pascal, and Zendaya.
‘Challengers’ hit theaters on April 26, 2024, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
