The director has acknowledged that they hardly used doubles in the montage.
Zendaya continues adding great projects like the star she is. The actress now has a new job that will take her to the tennis court. The 26-year-old actress will star in Luca Guadagnino’s next film, ‘Challengers’and according to the director, Zendaya prepared for the role so intensely that she has become quite the ace.
“I mean, wow. We set up the movie and hardly used any of her stunt doubles. She’s so good,” the “Call Me By Your Name” director told Variety, calling the two-time Emmy winner “wonderful.” “.
The director described ‘Challengers’ as a “sexy comedy”. Set in the competitive world of tennis, the actress from the last three Spider-Man films plays Tashi, the wife and coach of Mike Faist’s character, a tennis professional and Grand Slam champion. After a losing streak, his wife enters him in a ‘Challenger’ event, the lowest by tournament level, where she must face Patrick, Tashi’s ex-boyfriend as well as his ex-best friend.
It should be remembered that Zendaya’s next projects also include the second part of ‘Dune’ and she is also expected to return in the third season of ‘Euphoria’.
The actress opened up about this role, which has earned her two Emmys, in an Instagram post last February, writing: “I think it’s important that we have flawed characters. And we must remember that we are not the worst mistake we have ever made. And that redemption is possible.” The actress also added about her character, Rue: “I think if people can walk her through that road and get to the end, and still have hope for her future and see her make the changes and the steps to heal and humanize her through his journey of sobriety and his addiction, then maybe they can extend that to people in real life.”
In ‘Challengers’ there are also Josh O’ Connor, Heidi Garza, Faith Fay, AJ Lister among others.
Guadagnino presented in Venice (and now in Sitges) ‘Hasta los ojos: Bones and all’, in which once again he has Thimothée Chalamet. Another story also with romance but with touches of terror, where, as was well said in our review from Venice, cannibalism works as an aseptic metaphor. In it we meet Marel Yearly (Taylor Russell), who embarks on a journey across the country to find his father, whom he never knew, while seeking to understand why he feels the need to kill and eat people. that they love her
As for Zendaya’s projects, the second part of ‘Dune’ is scheduled to premiere in November 2023. The third season of ‘Euphoria’ will arrive throughout 2023, but it still does not have a set date.
