Zendaya’s steamy love triangle scene from the trailer
Challengers is all about a young female tennis player who gets romantically involved with two male players at the same time. Years after a career-ending injury, she marries one of them and coaches him against the other to make a comeback.
Love triangles can never go out of style in the romance genre, and a star like Zendaya can only take it to new heights. In a snippet from the trailer, she embraces both male protagonists together and kisses them one after the other.
Needless to say, this raunchy scene is all set to go viral when the film is released. Even before that, the clip has promised fans an exciting psychosexual drama that is rare in a sports-based movie.
Social media reactions to Zendaya’s love scenes
For better or for worse, stars can never keep their private lives truly private on social media. When it comes to a Hollywood power couple like Tom Holland and Zendaya, it’s almost impossible to keep their names out of Twitter trends.
