Zendaya is taking on her steamiest movie role yet with Challengers. The romantic drama stars Zendaya as a tennis pro who finds herself in the middle of a love triangle with two other players. If you can’t wait to see Zendaya serve (both on the court and off of it), here’s everything you should know about Challengers, including when it will be landing in theaters.

Challengers centers on tennis great Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), who is forced to end her impressive career early after suffering an injury. Instead of playing, Tashi coaches her husband Art (Mike Faist), another pro tennis player. However, when Tashi signs Art up for a tournament in which he will have to face off against Tashi’s ex Patrick (Josh O’Connor), old feelings start to bubble up once again. As revealed in the trailer, the movie employs a time jump to show the love triangle first getting to know one another as teenagers in the past, before shifting to their complicated relationships in the present.

The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino, adding to his list of lush romances like Call Me By Your Name and Bones and All.
