Zendaya has won Emmys, joined up with Spider-Man in the MCU, and ventured to the planet Arrakis. Now, her world domination continues with director Luca Guadagnino's highly anticipated follow-up to Bones and All, the tennis drama Challengers, where she stars alongside The Crown's Josh O'Connor and West Side Story's Mike Faist.

Zendaya plays Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach for her husband Art (Faist). As she and Art train to get him out of his losing streak, they'll face off against Art's former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend Patrick (O'Connor). Sparks fly and tempers flare in the film's electrifying first trailer, giving us a love triangle between three talented young actors with major charisma.

These three characters may be headed for an intense showdown, but the real winners of Challengers will no doubt be the audience.

Challengers hits theaters Sept. 15.
