TheWrap has confirmed that “Challengers,” starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor, is the first major theatrical release to be delayed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG strikes.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino and penned by Justin Kuritzkes, the romantic melodrama set in the world of professional tennis was slated for a Venice world premiere on August 30 and a theatrical release on September 15. The MGM-distributed has now vacated both dates, setting a new theatrical opening day for April 26, 2024.
