Trailer: Zendaya In Guadagnino’s “Challengers”

MGM

MGM has premiered the official trailer for “Call Me By Your Name” and “Suspiria” director Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming sports romantic dramedy “Challengers”.

The “Euphoria” star plays Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court.

Married to a champion on a losing streak, Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick – his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.

As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win. “West Side Story” scene stealer Mike Faist will play the husband, whilst “God’s Country” and “The Crown” breakout Josh O’Connor will play Patrick.

Guadagnino helms from a screenplay written by Justin Kuritzkes, and produces alongside Amy Pascal, whilst Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will do the score for his new film.

Guadagnino is coming off his cannibal drama “Bones and All” starring Timothee Chalamet.
“Challengers” is scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 15th.
