Zendaya has shared a new trailer for her upcoming movie Challengers, set to be released on April 26. The first trailer for the film was shared several months ago, but the film’s release date was delayed due to last year’s Hollywood strikes.
Zendaya Shares New Trailer for Challengers
Challengers was originally supposed to premiere at last year’s Venice Film Festival before hitting theaters in September. However, the actors were unable to promote the project due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, so the release was delayed until April 2024.
On Wednesday, Zendaya shared the second official trailer for the film on her Instagram account, along with some clips from the video diaries she kept while on set. Challengers tells the story of a former tennis star whose husband (Mike Faist) is competing against her ex-boyfriend (Josh O’Connor).
The new trailer is set to “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado, as we get glimpses of both the past and the present in the characters’ lives. Zendaya sports long hair in the flashbacks, while the more modern scenes show her with a stylish bob.
The film was directed by Luca Guadagnino, who is known for projects such as Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria, and Bones and All.

Fans Are Excited to Finally See the Movie
The first official trailer for Challengers was released last June. Fans have been waiting a long time to finally see the movie, which will be out April 26. They shared their excitement about the film in the comments of Zendaya’s recent Instagram post.
As one commenter wrote, “it’s been like 100 years we need the movie to be released NOW.” The comment has over 19,000 likes as of this writing. Someone else wrote, “I would watch anything with Zendaya at this point.”
Other commenters made jokes about how Zendaya’s boyfriend Tom Holland feels about her starring in a steamy romance with two other men. However, some people called out this response, with one fan writing, “All these ‘Poor Tom Holland’ comments are immature … she’s an actress and it’s a role… grow up.”
