Originally scheduled for release, ‘Challengers’ underwent a significant delay, pushing its theatrical debut to April 26, 2024. This shift marked a notable departure from its initial, premiere date, emphasising the intricate planning and anticipation surrounding the film’s release.

The initial plans for ‘Challengers’ included a grand unveiling at the prestigious 2023 Venice Film Festival, where it was slated to feature prominently. 

However, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the movie withdrew from its opening night slot at the festival. This decision was made to respect the strike and its impact on the promotional activities involving stars like Zendaya.

Despite these challenges, the first trailer for ‘Challengers’ made its debut offering viewers a tantalising glimpse into the narrative. Set against Rihanna’s electrifying track ‘S&M’, the trailer intricately weaves together the past and present lives of characters like Tashi, Art, and Patrick, providing a sneak peek into their intertwined stories and the intense dynamics on and off the tennis court. 

As Tashi and Art navigate their journey while confronting challenges posed by Patrick, Tashi’s former flame, the trailer sets the stage for a compelling exploration of ambition, rivalry, and passion in the competitive world of tennis.
