Zendaya stars in the Challengers movie, a new sports comedy-drama with a hint of twisted romance from visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All). 

Challengers follows a former tennis superstar turned coach successfully transforming her husband into a grand-slam champion. But when his record becomes tainted with an alarming losing streak, she decides to make him play a challenger event, reuniting them with someone they both share a turbulent past with.

With Warner Bros. internationally distributing the film, Challengers will most likely stream on BINGE, Foxtel, and Foxtel Now after its theatrical run and initial digital release on pay per view.  

The film getting added to the libraries of the aforementioned services only follows in the footsteps of other Warner Bros. releases like Black Adam, Don’t Worry Darling, and The Flash just to name a few.

It’s worth noting that prior to debuting on subscription services, Warner Bros. will first release the movie on digital platforms for rental or purchase like Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video Store, and others.

Tashi Duncan (Zendaya) is a former tennis prodigy. After a career-ending injury, she continues her life in tennis as her husband, Art’s coach. His transformation from an average player into an international champion only proves Tashi’s competence even as a coach. 

However, when her husband’s future in tennis is threatened by subsequent losses, Tashi decides to make him play a challenger event. It only complicates things when he ends up competing with his former best friend Patrick, who also happens to be Tashi’s ex-boyfriend. 

Challengers is directed by Luca Guadagnino from a screenplay written by Justin Kuritzkes. The former also produced the movie alongside lead star Zendaya, Rachel O’Connor, and Amy Pascal.
