A steamy new trailer for Challengers has arrived – and it’s game, set, match.
The highly-anticipated film stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach. Married to Art, a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist), Tashi signs him up for a Challenger event against Patrick (Josh O’Connor) – his former best friend and Tashi’s former lover.
In the trailer, which can be viewed above, tensions are high and Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater” plays over the montage of steamy clips (including the scene that made everyone absolutely feral last year). Tashi’s steamy relationships with Art and Patrick intensify throughout the trailer – putting the two at war with each other.
“He’s not in love with you,” Art says to Tashi. She replies, “What makes you think I want someone to be in love with me?”
“It’s not just a tennis movie or a movie about a love triangle, it’s psychological, it’s emotional, it’s grief, it’s everything,” O’Connor previously toldVanity Fair.
