If you'll allow me to make a horrendous tennis joke, then I'll say Challengers is a movie all about love. Love stories, love triangles, and of course, the term for "zero" in tennis.
Tennis lays at the heart of Luca Guadagnino's upcoming sports drama, which stars Dune's Zendaya, The Crown's Josh O'Connor, and West Side Story's Mike Faist as tennis stars with a very complex relationship. Zendaya stars as Tashi Duncan, a former prodigy sidelined by an injury. Now, she coaches her husband Art (Faist) as he struggles to end his losing streak. One of the players standing in his way? Patrick (O'Connor), Art's former best friend and Tashi's ex. Feelings of attraction and resentment are sure to resurface, prompting a fiery love triangle between three of today's most promising stars.
If the trailer's teases of Zendaya, O'Connor, and Faist's chemistry don't sell you on Challengers, perhaps its use of Nelly Furtado banger "Maneater" will.
Challengers hits theaters Apr. 26.
