A film festival premiere also seems likely, and it will likely have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, which is where director Luca Guadagnino’s last two films Suspiria and Bones & All had their world premieres.

Challengers Movie Trailer:
A full trailer for Challengers was released online by MGM on June 20, 2023. The trailer, set to Rihanna’s “S&M,” begins with Tashi (Zendaya) at the top of her tennis career, meeting best friends Art (Mike Faist) and Patrick (Josh O’Connor), forming a fierce love triangle. We learn that Tashi ends up with Art, but her career ends prematurely after she’s injured. Years later, Patrick re-enters their lives, and Patrick now must face off against his former friend with Tashi coaching him.
Challengers Movie OTT & Release Date:
With Challengers releasing exclusively in movie theaters on September 15, the movie is set to be one of the first big releases of the fall season.
The movie is an Amazon/MGM title, so while the movie is going to get an exclusive run in theaters, we can bet that it is going to make its way to Prime Video eventually. There’s no info at this time as to when that is going to happen.
Kraven the Hunter Movie Cast:
Zendaya stars as Tashi Duncan in Challengers, the latest high-profile role for the Emmy-winning actress. Zendaya of course received those trophies for her role as Rue in Euphoria season 1 and Euphoria season 2, but she has also gained notoriety for being in the Spider-Man movies (Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home, to be specific), The Greatest Showman and the Dune franchise.
Her co-stars in the movie are Mike Faist as Tashi’s husband Art and Josh O’Connor as their former friend and now rival Patrick. Faist’s most notable credits are for the Prime Video series Panic and starring as Riff in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. O’Connor is more widely known thanks to his role as Prince Charles in The Crown season 3 and The Crown season 4 and indie movies like God’s Own Country, Emma, and Mothering Sunday.
Challengers Movie Reviews:
With the initial mention of the movie describing it as a sports rom-com, intrigue was rife from the very start. Sports rom-coms are few and far between in the world of cinema, and with the amount of talent at the helm of this film, it may be the best of its kind to date. The official plot synopsis of Challengers reads:
This premise seems perfect for lovers of romantic comedies, with the set-up oozing a classic comedic narrative. Also, it seems as if tennis fans will have plenty to marvel at, with the bulk of the story taking place on, or at least around, the court. There really seems to be something for everyone in this upcoming release.
