Darnell Appling: How Zendaya's Assistant Became The Umpire In Challengers "It Was Totally Unexpected"

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Zendaya's assistant, Darnell Appling, makes a surprise appearance in Challengers, and it was a total coincidence that he got the part. One of the best drama movies of 2024, Challengers is Luca Guadagnino's eighth film and another excellent entry in the director's quickly growing canon of movies. Like many of Guadagnino's films, Challengers is a sexy, titillating, deeply intimate movie. Tennis is the backdrop of a years-spanning love triangle between two friends, Patrick (Josh O'Connor) and Art (Mike Faist), and their lover, friend, coach, and idol, Tashi (Zendaya).
