In an interview with Variety, Guadagnino spoke highly of the film's talented cast, who worked tirelessly alongside Gilbert to perfect their tennis skills for the movie.Gilbert, who had an impressive career in the 1980s, boasting 20 singles titles, was brought on board as a consultant for the movie. Following his playing days, Gilbert transitioned into coaching, where he notably helped Agassi secure six Grand Slam titles.During the production of 'Challengers,' Gilbert dedicated three months to training with Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist. The director, Guadagnino, was thoroughly impressed with their unwavering commitment to learning the nuances of the sport.“They spent like three months working very hard,” Guadagnino said of the trio of actors. “Everybody – technically, athletically.”The Oscar-winning director specifically mentioned Zendaya, whom he jokingly suggested was more than ready to take on the US Open. He praised her for her professional movements and noted that upon reviewing the final edit, he was impressed to find that she did not require a body double"She’s wonderful, I mean, wow. We edited the movie and we almost actually don’t use any of her double. She’s so good.” he added.'Challengers' will be Guagadnino's first comedy and is due for release in August 2023.
