Quick Glance: Zendaya, Luca Guadagnino, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist Discuss 'Challengers'
- Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist, along with director Luca Guadagnino, delve into ambition, jealousy, and the 'erotic amusement' of their new movie 'Challengers.'
- 'Challengers' by Luca Guadagnino portrays two best friend tennis players, Patrick and Art, competing against each other to win the heart of superstar Tashi Duncan. Innocent teasing escalates as Tashi's injury leads her to coach and push Art to defeat her former lover Patrick, all while both men have hidden agendas.
- Zendaya, transitioning from her teenage fame to leading roles, finds 'Challengers' as a challenging opportunity. Despite being aware of the pressure on her box-office draw as a solo star, she made the decision to be part of the movie without overthinking it.
- A conversation with Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, Mike Faist, and Luca Guadagnino at a Beverly Hills hotel delved into 'Challengers' and the challenges of navigating life and career in the public eye.
Zendaya reacts to the meme that all the main ‘Spider-Man’ film actresses have also played tennis stars.
