She/Her Zendaya and Mike Faist fan, I use Twitter to curate my thoughts anonymously in public space. I try to be respectful, compassionate but I fail sometimes
This Challengers article just made my day and put a smile on my face. Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor really understood the assignment. And I can feel them laughing too especially after Mike says “bodies and sweat.” 😂
So proud of Zendaya because at the end of the day, Challengers is considered her movie. And if it failed, her toughest critics would’ve blamed her for it. The fact that it is succeeding is a testament to her hard work and dedication to HER craft.
What makes a movie star? Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor weigh in... One thing is for sure, we were in the presence of one
@Zendaya
. Watch the full interview of the
#ChallengersMovie
cast tomorrow...
What I love about Challengers is that you can continue to peel the layers of the plot like an onion and find something new to consider. Yes, the movie is really fun but I just find it quite brilliant honestly.
I understand it now.
The entire match represented the relationship they both had with Tashi, from first encounter to present day. When it clicked for both of them what they were playing for, that's when they understood each other and played some "good fucking tennis"
I can rest

It’s you again. Aren’t you exhausted of going on every Zendaya post to hate on her? That’s a lot of emotion you’re investing, I have to give you credit for your persistence. Anyway, peace. Hope you are okay dude.
@notcapnamerica
The problem is that to the left of Zendaya was Emma Stone and to the right was apparently CEO to Christian Dior and daughter to currently the richest man in the world, so someone definitely screwed up seating.
I'm blocking anyone who talks sh*t about Zendaya. I've waited over 2 years for this project and no one is going to ruin it for me. I've seen it and it is glorious. Stay mad while I enjoy!
saw challengers last night… perplexed by how zendaya delivers all her lines. seems overdone in a way i previously thought was due to a poor script or the severity of her roles (malcolm & marie, dunes, etc). friend said she treats everything like a disney channel original movie…
Zendaya & Robert Pattinson are in talks to star in Kristoffer Borgli’s ‘The Drama’ for A24.
Described as a romance that takes an unexpected turn before a couple’s big day.
Zendaya was 16 years old here. It took her 2-3 days to learn a completely new dance on a weekly basis and perform on live television. I was so stressed out for her as a viewer. She had nerves of steel.
It’s through Zendaya’s performance that demonstrates the heavy weight of the heartbreak of Paul’s fate. Z is able to show Chani’s strength as a warrior and also just the right amount of vulnerability…
so glad this was brought up cause it's so true that this wouldn't be asked if it was anyone else but it's been continuously being asked to zendaya and her co-stars for dune part two and challengers as if this isn't their job.
Whatever happens, I’m so proud of Z. She is incredibly talented and I know there’s people going to hate just for the fact that she exists. She deserves everything. And Challengers is pretty darn amazing, so go see it folks!
Here goes film tweet moving the goal post again for 2-time Emmy winner Zendaya who brings in profits for multiple industries. What’s wrong with Z being selective in movies she’s in? Clearly her employers have objective data that prove she is a movie star.
Where is the club for middle-of-the-road people who don’t think Zendaya is A Movie Star but also don’t think she’s void of talent with one facial expression either
Zendaya is many wonderful things but expecting her to solve all of the world’s problems seems a bit delusional. I’ve been a fan for 13 years because she is my favorite performer and she always leaves me desiring more of her work. While I think it’s important for celebrities…
The way Swifities have made Taylor Swift, a privileged multimillionaire, a victim of every scenario and criticize every other person needs to be studied. Swifities lack self awareness and are the epitome of tone deafness.
Z’s new movie is hitting peak interest and is really triggering people. It amazes me because she has fans that sincerely just enjoy her work in film, TV, music, and modeling without all the spectacle. But she takes space in the minds of haters and that’s a testament of her power.
Challengers killed it! Zendaya absolutely shines. Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor are a revelation. And Darnell! ❤️ Luca Guadagnino did that! Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, I’m in awe. And Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross made me feel like I was invited to the party. 💚🎾💚🎾
The truth is all the Zendaya hate came from Sydney Sweeney MAGA fans months ago when they started comparing Sydney to Zendaya and making racist comments. Thanks a lot, Sydney.
This reaks of actress became famous and gets too big for her boots.
At least other actor complaints were source material based not just no Im a writer now.
@Zendaya_Updated
Ngl, the best kiss award is cursed anyway. Past winners who were dating at the time and won ended breaking up. Not that I’m superstitious, but I’ll take it as a good sign. Lol.
Last thoughts for the weekend:
1. Denis is brilliant and I hope Z works with him again
2. Z's portrayal of Chani was even more powerful and heartfelt on second watch
3. Timmy has really won me over, he's a talented hearthrob
This year's first egregious category fraud. O'Connor and Faist are 1,000% the film's leads and Zendaya is supporting. Patrick and Art's relationship is what's driving the story.
Zendaya’s Challengers stunt double was Wolverine tennis player Kara Hall, who is the sister of Heptathlon athlete Anna Hall of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Always a showstopper.

took over the desert last night with a custom drone show lighting up the Coachella Valley sky ✨
Head to to listen to Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross' original score for CHALLENGERS, remixed and reworked by Boys Noize.
I always try to keep it classy but some haters are so miserable they better watch out when I'm thru with their faves so people better stay tf away from Z.
Fuck it imma start nitpicking these male actors. Tired of you male obsessed freaks. Women have to prove they’re actually good actress for every single one of their roles but these men get to coast by one good role. Losers!!
You guys, I know there’s a lot of hate going around, but let’s not forget Timmy and Zendaya’s unforgettable portrayal of Paul and Chani. Like, literally I can think of anything else 😭
Sydney Sweeney’s Public Relations strategy is to mention Zendaya for likes and we all know what you are doing. It’s cyclical and getting old. We are tired. Please come up with a different strategy.
Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor should all go to a beach in England somewhere, hang out, take some bikini shots and call it a day. Friends hanging out is not promo.😜
I'm gonna say this and go on my way: when Challengers releases, the anti-Zendaya sentiment that's building is probably going to skyrocket. No matter how it does box office wise or critically, I can't see a reality, at this point, that doesn't end with her and it being shit on.
@SlumRNA_Dog
Don’t you guys have something better to do? Like watch Fox News? Being racist and picking on young people must be a thing for middle aged who’re men these days.
The way Zendaya was holding that bazooka was something I didn't expect to see. From that to softly whispering, "Paul Muad'Dib Usul," atop a dune, my eyes were on Her.
It’s through Zendaya’s performance that demonstrates the heavy weight of the heartbreak of Paul’s fate. Z is able to show Chani’s strength as a warrior and also just the right amount of vulnerability…

You know the old saying, “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.” She came for him over and over again, like give me a break with the excuses.
Been watching Zendaya's first On campaign video and I'm truly impressed. I've seen it about 30 times at this point. Anytime she's involved in any type of project, I feel like it has a complete vision and it comes from a very genuine place.
When can I live in Twitter peace where I can go on here & enjoy Zendaya content & not be forced to defend her bc she gets introduced into discourse that has NOTHING to do w her. & y’all take that opportunity each time to set her up so that she has a target on her back.
Blaming Zendaya, are you dumb? The US education system has failed because people can no longer make valid conclusions and have to make leaps of logic to satisfy their own bias.
In light of Noah Schnapp’s statement, yall need to come to terms that Zendaya about to be next
- Been silent the whole time
- In Dune 2, a movie that perpetuates Arab stereotypes
- Stars and is a producer on Euphoria, TV show based off an Israeli mini series
It ain’t good
I started out as
#TeamTashiPatrick
because I have an affinity for bad boys but
#TeamTashiArt
has been on my neck. All the Challengers campaigning for Art is working.😩😂😭
