Zendaya at the heart of a film about Tennis
Tennis fans, you might like this new feature film. Challengers features a neon yellow racket and ball champion named Tashi Duncan (Zendaya). After an injury, she devotes herself 100% to the career of her husband Art Donaldson, in order to make him go from bad player to essential Grand Slam star. She therefore makes him participate in a tournament called Challenger, where he will face his best friend, but also former spouse of Tashi Duncan… Between tensions and romantic quarrels, this victory will perhaps cost the former Tennis champion dearly. .
In the main roles, we find Zendaya (Euphoria, Spider-Man), Mike Faist in the role of her husband (West Side Story from 2021) and Josh O'Connor (The Crown) who plays the rival and former boyfriend. It is on April 24 that it will be possible to watch this feature film at the cinema in France, for those who are interested in this story of Tennis and romantic rivalry. In short, the 27-year-old American star's schedule seems particularly busy, but it's to offer us promising films that attract attention. In other words, 2024 is a year rich in productions with Zendaya!
