Right on the heels of Dune 2, Zendaya’s newest film, Challengers, hits theaters on April 26th. This Luca Guadagnino-directed movie is all about tennis, and while the stars of the film didn’t start out as tennis pros, they rose to the occasion when it came to prepping for their roles. Alongside costars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, Zendaya learned to play tennis like a professional and made some great friends in her scene partners. From what it took for Zendaya to sign on for this movie and what it means to her career to how she bonded with her castmates and how beloved she is by her director, we’ve got all the details about Challengers and what Zendaya calls her “first time really being a leading lady.”
