Zendaya stars in the Challengers movie alongside The Crown's Josh O'Connor and Miek Faist. Directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Suspira), Zendaya plays Tashi, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who manipulates her husband and former boyfriend against each other. Zendaya worried the character may not be likable given Tashi's questionable methods.
