Recently, directed by Luca Guadagnino, Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, Mike Faist starred in the tennis sports film ‘Challengers’ Northern America is scheduled.
‘Challengers’ will be released on August 11, 2023, into a crowded summer schedule.
The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino, whose previous films ‘Call Me by Your Name’ and ‘Suspiria’ have garnered a lot of critical acclaim.

But Art is now on a losing streak, and to get him back in shape, Tashi has put Art in a lower level challenge.
On that court, Art’s opponent was the now-defunct former star of tomorrow Patrick, Art’s former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend. The old hatred on and off the court ignited a new feud.
Currently, MGM has picked up the rights to ‘Challengers’, with Zendaya, Guadagnino and ‘Spider-Man’ series producer Amy Pascal among those producing, and Justin Kuritzkes’ script having been selected for the 2021 Hollywood Screenplay Blacklist.
