Zendaya in Challengers

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Director Luca Guadagnino accidentally inserted an inside joke into Zendaya's Challengers. Zendaya famously starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man trilogy, where she played the clever student MJ.

While the Spider-Man reference is a fun nod to Challengers' impressive cast, the inclusion was actually completely unintentional. In an interview with EW, Guadagnino explained that he was merely looking for a movie already available through their producer. He happened to choose Spider-Verse, viewing it as something that a typical girl might watch. By sheer coincidence, it tied into Zendaya's previous work.

"When you get rights for something to be used in a movie, it's very complicated. Amy Pascal, our amazing producer, was of help there.

Director Luca Guadagnino Release Date April 26, 2024 Studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , Pascal Pictures Distributor Amazon MGM Studios Writers Justin Kuritzkes Cast Zendaya , Josh O'Connor , Mike Faist
