Product Description: From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as 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 (Mike Faist – West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor – The Crown) – 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.

Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist to Star in Luca Guadagnino Tennis Drama CHALLENGERS

Zendaya ("Euphoria") has signed, on and Josh O'Connor ("The Crown") and Mike Faist ("West Side Story") are in talks to star in MGM's upcoming romantic drama "Challengers". The film will be directed by Luca Guadagnino ("Call Me By Your Name") from a script by playwright Justin Kuritzkes.

The film focuses on the competitive world of pro tennis, in which player-turned-coach Tashi (Zendaya) has transformed her husband Art (Faist) into a Grand Slam champion. After a losing streak, Tashi enters him into a "Challenger" event — the lowest pro tournament level — where he must face off against Patrick (O'Connor), Tashi's former boyfriend and his former best friend.

The script was featured on the 2021 Black List, a ranking of the best non-produced script in Hollywood. Production is expected to begin this spring on the East Coast. Amy Pascal ("Spider-Man: No Way Home") will be producing via her Pascal Pictures alongside Zendaya and Guadagnino.

Guadagnino is currently in post-production on the cannibal drama "Bones and All" starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell.
