The stars of “Challengers”—Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist—are already lining up their next projects after the film’s success. Despite what Zendaya called a “confusing” ending, the actors’ future plans are becoming clear.

Josh O’Connor is set to continue his collaboration with Guadagnino in an adaptation of the novel “Separate Rooms.” O’Connor will portray leo, an Italian writer grieving the death of his boyfriend. Léa Seydoux will co-star in this male-male-female love triangle. Francesca Manieri, who worked with Guadagnino on “We Are Who We Are,” is writing the screenplay.
O’Connor also recently appeared in “La Chimera,” set in Italy, and has a supporting role in the WWII biopic “lee” alongside Kate Winslet. He is currently filming “History of Sound,” a queer drama set during WWI, co-starring Paul Mescal. Additionally, O’Connor will lead Karim Aïnouz’s “Rosebushpruning,” with Kristen Stewart and Elle Fanning.
Mike Faist, known for his roles in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” and a “Brokeback Mountain” stage adaptation, will appear in “The Bikeriders.”
