WATCH: The ‘Call Me By Your Name’ director’s next film is a sexy sports drama ménage à trois
Challengers, a steamy love triangle romance set in the world of professional tennis.From director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, the upcoming Queer with Daniel Craig) comes a movie that aims to be one of the hottest hits of the fall featuring mega-star Zendaya, The Crown‘s Josh O’Connor, and West Side Story‘s Mike Faist.O’Connor stars as Patrick with Faist as Art, two young tennis players whose friendship is served in the ace in the form of rising women’s tennis star, Tashi, played by the radiant Zendaya.Without giving too much away, the first Challengers trailer sure seems to imply that, after being invited to their hotel room, Tashi beds both guys at once—could we have another Y Tu Mamá También on our hands?From there, it looks like Tashi and Patrick begin a relationship, leaving Art in the cold. But, after an incident on the court leaves Tashi out of the sport for good, we jump to years later when she’s now married to Art—and his coach.Now, Tashi is training Art to compete in a Grand Slam tournament that will see him going head-to-head with her old lover and his former best friend, Patrick.
