Cast

Production

It was announced in February 2022 that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer had landed the film, which would see Luca Guadagnino direct and Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist cast to star. Zendaya will also serve as a producer on the film.[1] Sayombhu Mukdeeprom serves as cinematographer.[2] In a 2022 interview with Collider, Guadagnino cited Kuritzkes' screenplay, Amy Pascal, and Zendaya as inspirations for making the film.[3]

Principal photography began on May 3, 2022, in Boston, where a casting call took place for local residents to audition to play tennis players, general extras, and stand-ins.[4] In preparation for her role, Zendaya spent three months training with pro-tennis player-turned-coach Brad Gilbert.[5] Filming occurred in and around the Back Bay and East Boston neighborhoods.[6] Filming wrapped on June 26, 2022.[7] Guadagnino visited Zendaya on the set of Dune: Part Two in order to complete ADR for Challengers.[8] Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will compose the film's score, having previously worked with Guadagnino on Bones and All.[9]

Release

Challengers is scheduled to be released on August 11, 2023.[10]
