Zendaya has been doing the media rounds ahead of the release of her newest flick.

The actor stars alongside The Crown's Josh O'Connor and West Side Story's Mike Faist in her latest role.

Featuring a threesome scene, it's certainly fair to say it is Zendaya's raunchiest movie to date.

"Tashi (Zendaya), a tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion," Challengers' synopsis teases.

It continues: "To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event - close to the lowest level of tournament on the pro tour. "Tensions soon run high when he finds himself standing across the net from the once-promising, now burnt-out Patrick, his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend."

Zendaya, Josh and Mike's characters end up in a rather heated love triangle, leading to some pulse-racing scenes between the trio.

The has lead to a lot of questions surrounding the matter by many members of the media.

Heck, one particular interview left viewers cringing at the awkward questions posed to Zendaya.

In another interview to promote the film, the Euphoria star appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (April 18) wearing a gray Ralph Lauren blazer and white high stiletto heels.

"You’re dressed just like me except I have pants on,” Kimmel joked.

Zendaya responded: "I was inspired, you were my fashion inspiration today."

"Next time let me know and I also won’t wear pant," the host added, before Zendaya jokingly replied: "Okay perfect, I’ll text you in advance."

Zendaya said she 'absolutely' warned her nearest and dearest of the sexual themes present in the movie.

“Well they know it’s a Rated-R movie okay so I was like you, know walking into this, 'if you can’t handle the heat get out the kitchen',” she said.

"But I forewarned them. It was honestly my favorite part of the night. Cause I’ve seen the movie many times."

Zendaya added: "I know when the scenes are coming so when those scenes were happening I just was watching my family because they were behind me, so I just watched them the whole time, it was hilarious."

The actor went on to discuss how her nieces were round for the night, with them having to cover their faces during some of the scenes.

"And then my little nieces were back there, I mean they’re grown-ups but they’re 18," Zendaya said.

"It was my favorite part of the night."
