Grab your tennis rackets and your popcorn for this one!
The excitement continues to build for the release of Luca Guadagnino’s sports-romance movie Challengers. Its recent trailer shows Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist embroiled in a decades-long love triangle that centers around their tennis careers, and it’s already clear we’re in for a heated and drama-filled treat. Guadagnino’s recent successes with Suspiria and Bones and All mean that this next project is certain to attract a lot of attention, especially with Zendaya at the helm.
Tennis legends John McEnroe and Mary Carillo provide the on-court commentary throughout as a treat for real sports fans, whilst the movie manages the games with enough emotional sincerity to captivate even those who aren’t so sure about the basic rules of tennis. The leads are both interesting enough for the tennis to become secondary for a lot of the movie, letting the romance fuel the storyline.
A Spectacular Cast Helps Make This Movie a Pleasure To Watch The cast helps to elevate this rom-com to a more star-studded affair. Paul Bettany naturally shines as an affable Englishman, whilst Kirsten Dunst is both determined and lovable throughout. Notably, Jon Favreau makes an appearance as Peter’s agent, the money-loving but good-natured Ron Roth.
This complements the film’s stand-out comedic moments, many of which are provided by the supporting cast. Peter’s parents are shown to be suffering from marital difficulties that have led his father to take up refuge in a tree house at the bottom of the garden. Meanwhile, Peter’s mischievous brother Carl is shown consistently placing bets against Peter for all his games. McAvoy is a scene-stealer in this early role, where his gift for comedy, as well as sincerity, is demonstrated.
