A dangerous injury might take Tashi away from the courts, but as a new stage of her career begins, she’ll soon realize that life as a former tennis professional might be as unpredictable as the sport she’s been playing during her entire life.
The trailers forChallengershave delighted audiences with the way Tashi can be interacting with the other lead characters of the movie, Patrick (Josh O’Connor) and Art Donaldson (Mike Faist). But the new featurette from the movie features Zendaya talking about her character was used to a certain lifestyle and the bright promise of her future before the injury cut her time in the spotlight short. As Art’s wife, Tashi decides to become his tennis coach at the same time. But how will that change when the couple are introduced to Patrick, another brilliant athlete who will slide into their lives to spice things up?
InChallengers, Luca Guadagnino will explore a world of passion and emotional curiosity set in the world of professional tennis, but the filmmaker is no stranger to exploring how young minds experience romantic love. Other films from Guadagnino, includingCall Me By Your NameandBones and All, have also followed young protagonists as they live through the relationships that will eventually define the rest of their lives. The director certainly enjoys making audiences reflect about their own romantic experiences when engaging with his work, andChallengerswon’t be the exception.
