Challengers director Luca Guadagnino has revealed why his Zendaya-led film includes a nod to Spider-Man – and it’s nothing to do with the actor’s connection to the franchise.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Guadagnino said the Spider-Man “in-joke” was unintentional and the decision had actually been for production ease.
Fans who watched Challengers over its opening weekend (26 April) rushed to share their reactions to the unexpected Spider-Man reference on social media.
“The fact that we know Spider-Man exists in the Challengers universe is so funny,” one person wrote.
