Challengers, the sports drama starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, is going viral on social media.
A clip from the movie, posted by the Men on Film Podcast on Friday (May 17), gives audiences a first-person perspective of an intense tennis match. “This shot in Challengers is probably the best thing [director] Luca Guadagnino has ever done,” reads the post.
“Just wait til you see how we did it!!! Behind the scenes releasing soon,” replied Brian Drewes, the visual effect supervisor on the film. The viral post has received over 24,000 likes and hundreds of replies.
Challengers scored an early streaming release on May 17, arriving on VOD just under a month after debuting in theaters. The sports drama centers around a former tennis star who returns to the sport with help from his wife, also a former tennis player, and faces off against his former best friend/wife’s ex-boyfriend.
“I think it’s not quite a tennis film,” Zendaya shared with Sports Illustrated when asked to categorize the film. “It’s not quite a sports film, but it has tennis in it. I wouldn’t say a romantic comedy, although there is romance and it’s funny. I wouldn’t say that it’s entirely a drama, but there are dramatic moments. So I think that’s the beauty of it — it really can’t be defined or categorized as any one thing. Just as I think the characters can’t be defined or categorized. It’s all just a complicated, beautiful mess.”
