Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist served stateside at the Los Angeles Premiere of Challengers on Tuesday, April 16 at Westwood Village Theater.
Joining the stars on the carpet were director Luca Guadagnino and producers Amy Pascal and Rachel O’Connor, along with celebrities including Tina Knowles, Venus Williams, Cynthia Erivo, Lena Waithe, Edgar Wright, Chloe Sevigny, and more.
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.
