Zendaya Reveals How Her Parents Reacted to Her Three-Way Scene in ‘Challengers’ “It was my favourite part of the night”

As a seasoned gamer who’s witnessed the evolution of Zendaya‘s career from Marvel’s MJ to the enigmatic Chani in Dune, I must say that her performance in Challengers was nothing short of mesmerizing. The three-way scene, while unconventional, added a layer of intrigue to an already captivating narrative.


Zendaya is currently one of the most famous young actresses around, having made a name for herself by working her way up through various roles in Hollywood. Notable among these are her portrayal of MJ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man trilogy, her role as Rue Bennett on Euphoria, and more recently, as Chani in the Dune movie series.

Recently, Zenadaya was featured in the series ‘Challengers’, where she portrayed Tashi Duncan alongside Josh O’Connor (as Patrick Zweig) and Mike Faist (as Art Donaldson).

The movie ‘Challengers’ was highly acclaimed by critics, who admired its captivating performances and vibrant energy. It is lauded for its thrilling and seductive courtroom scenes, powered by a talented cast. While audience responses were varied, the general critical opinion emphasizes the film’s impressive star power and energetic presentation.

The film, being rated R, includes a memorable three-way scene among the primary characters, which Zendaya openly acknowledged enjoying during production.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actress shared not only her excitement about the movie but also shared her parents’ reactions when they saw her in that particular scene.

Since they’re aware that it’s an R-rated film, I went in expecting a bit of intensity. However, I gave them a heads-up. In fact, that moment turned out to be my highlight of the evening. You see, I’ve watched this movie numerous times and know when the intense scenes are approaching. So, during those moments, instead of focusing on the movie, I was entertained by watching my family react behind me. It was absolutely laugh-out-loud funny!

Zendaya laughed when she noticed her relatives, particularly her younger nieces, squirm during her scene in ‘Challengers’. But what truly made her nervous was Venus Williams attending the premiere and observing her play a tennis player. Despite her apprehension, Zendaya felt less worried about her parents’ responses since they were already accustomed to her work from ‘Euphoria’, so the scenes in ‘Challengers’ didn’t seem too surprising for them.
