Challengers: Zendaya's newest movie looks like a Date Night fantasy

There’s no slowing down the hits Zendaya keeps coming up with. Whether it’s in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or cracking into franchises like DUNE, she stays busy and keeps putting out quality content - especially with her new Challengers flick gearing up to drop.

The trailer looks pretty mind-blowing - both from a sexual standpoint and of course storytelling approach. September 15 can’t come soon enough.

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.
