'Call Me By Your Name' director Luca Guadagnino’s latest film, 'Challengers,' is an erotic tennis drama centered on a thorny, three-way relationship between athletes played by Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. Recently, screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes described the central romance as “queer, by nature”-a love triangle where, indeed, “all corners” touch-so we decided to ask the trio of stars what it means to them for 'Challengers' to be considered a “queer film” and how that might’ve shaped their approaches to their roles.

Josh is brilliant, I wish I could see the moment where the cameras start rolling and he goes from this shy, sort of inward seeming individual to the boastful, overly confident character he played onscreen. The switch is crazy. I mean I know that’s what being good at acting entails but it’s still fascinating to see with certain actors.

Absolutely!

I have the same thought with James McAvoy in split. I want to see how he channels all the different people, especially hedwig and Patricia

Sooo thankful it’s not 2015 anymore when actors would star in a queer af movie and then deflect about it being queer during the press tour (cough cough bohemian rhapsody)

@whaddup5417 16 дней назад

Is it a queer film or does it just have queer elements? I think labeling it as a film *about* a queer relationship just makes the story a lot less compelling and the movie less impactful. Thereby doing less to normalize queer in general.

@@whaddup5417 saying that it's a queer film doesn't take out from the story, it just explains that it exists in this spectrum of non-heteronormativity

Zendaya is so stunning and so well spoken. She is going to be around forever and will be an icon one day. Mark my words.

Interesting interview. Just saw the film and wow, what a complex character study. Really worth seeing and contemplating.

Every interview I see makes me fall more in love with Josh O'Connor. Incredible explanation of his role, he truly understood the assignment of making his character a bisexual agent of chaos and obsessive brat and in turn, helped me better understand him!

@ericamacs3875 22 дня назад

Kind of badly timed interview but I get that Zendaya jumped in there, shame the question wasn't directed at Mike and Josh straight away, both have played much more explicit queer roles.

@elissalombard7021 20 дней назад

I think Mike especially couldn’t care less about answering these questions 😂 Zendaya played Rue as well - and she was a producer in Challengers which is why many of these questions are initially directed at her.

I think the word Josh is looking for is Polyamory??? I haven’t seen the film so I could be wrong but from this interview alone, I feel like what he’s describing is polyamory.

@HANNAHPOO 25 дней назад

i think it’s something bigger than that - more metaphorical or poetic

@darklinaendgame 25 дней назад

It’s definitely polyamory they’re just too Media trained to say it

@MeelaMeela000 24 дня назад

Metaphorical polyamory?

Queer/Gay is still somehow in the closet. Not impressed that we are still hesitant, reticent about same sex relationships. Only independent films have the guts to be a bit more open about same sex desire/love.

What queer themes does the movie “challengers”have? Seems like we’re stretching it a bit when you just have two dudes straight dudes kissing for Zendaya.

@jamespader 2 дня назад

Did you watch the movie? You could constantly cut their tension with a knife completely outside of the role zendaya’s character played in their relationship/bromance. The sauna scene? Hello?

@1Lanavis1 21 час назад

Patrick was definitely at least not fully straight.

@jamespader 21 час назад

They made it very clear that Patrick was yes mostly hooking up with women but also very much hooking up with men too. The brief scene where he’s swiping on tinder says it all.
