Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers is being called the sexiest movie of 2024 (sorry, Madame Web!), but there are no actual on-screen sex scenes. The only, ahem, strokes are tennis strokes.

At the Challengers premiere earlier this week, Zendaya told IndieWire, “What’s really special about this movie is that it is incredibly sexy, but there surprisingly [are] no sex scenes.’ I’ve been asked a lot about sex scenes from people who have seen the movie, and I’m like, ‘What sex scenes?’” She continued, “We keep saying that tennis is the sex in the movie, and tennis, I think, holds a metaphor for a lot of things — desires, passion, pain, anger, frustration — I think they all use tennis as this way of communicating with each other when they just don’t have the words.”
