She’s taking on an integral part in Dune Part Two, which will begin a gruelling, months-long shoot somewhere in the desert this summer. She’s also got another season of [Euphoria](, arguably the biggest TV show in the world right now, to worry about after that. Yet remarkably, she’s still found the time to squeeze in a little arthouse flick with [Call Me By Your Name]( director Luca Guadagnino before she is required to fulfil her commitments on those projects. You have to respect the grind. And Challengers sounds pretty juicy. Zendaya plays the lead, Tashi, a former tennis player-turned-coach who has reversed the fortunes of her no 1 student Art, who also happens to be her husband, played by Mike Faist.

It sounds soapy, and we’re into it.
