Wall Street Journal, O’Connor – who stars in Challengers alongside Zendaya and Mike Faist – revealed that the one character he would like to play given the chance is a “darker version” of Willy Wonka.However, O’Connor was quick to note that Timothée Chalamet most recently had a turn as the iconic character: “I think probably, I’d love to play Willy Wonka, but like a dark Willy Wonka. I know they just made a Wonka film with Timothée Chalamet, but I would really like to play a sort of darker version of him.”Chalamet isn’t the only actor O’Connor noted to take on the mantle of Wonka.

Josh O’Connor is currently starring in Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers and recently revealed what character he would love to play in the future.

Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events SPOILER ALERT: This article contains plot details for “Challengers,” now playing in theaters. Josh O’Connor never had a churro until he shot “Challengers.” The British actor and his co-star Mike Faist enjoy the fried doughy treat in one of the film’s most suggestive scenes. In short, Patrick (O’Connor) is visiting his girlfriend Tashi (Zendaya) and his best friend Art (Faist) at Stanford when the two young men catch up in a cafeteria. They’re sitting face-to-face as they devour the churros.

J. Kim Murphy “Challengers” netted a $6.2 million opening day from 3,477 North American theaters, a figure that includes $1.9 million from preview screenings. Amazon MGM Studios‘ love-triangle drama is set to match industry projections for a $15 million debut.

Josh O’Connor is already an Emmy-winning actor, but he’s never quite been in the spotlight in the way he is right now thanks to his role in Challengers.

Rob Brydon looks worlds away from his Gavin and Stacey days in his latest acting role.The actor is arguably best known for his portrayal of Bryn in the hit BBC sitcom, written by James Corden and Ruth Jones. Rob, 58, has swapped Barry Island for Tudor England in new series My Lady Jane, in which he portrays Lord Dudley.The upcoming romantic period drama is due to be released on Prime Video on 27 June, and is set in an alt-Tudor world. History has almost been rewritten in the series, as King Henry VIII's son Edward does not die of tuberculosis, and Lady Jane Grey and her husband Guildford are not beheaded in a twist of events.

Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist are talking Challengers.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Game, set… but there’s not much of a match. “Challengers,” a steamy tennis drama starring Zendaya and directed by Luca Guadagnino, is poised to lead the domestic box office without much in the way of competition. The film, from Amazon MGM, is projected to collect $12 million to $15 million from 3,400 North American theaters in its opening weekend.

From almost all accounts, it seems like Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has another hit on his hands with “Challengers,” a new tennis drama from MGM Studios that’s actually more of a love-triangle romance bundled into the sports genre. Starring Zendaya (Marvel’s “Spider-Man” franchise and the “Dune” series), Josh O’Connor (“Dr.

Yellowjackets is coming back, but we’re going to be waiting a while.

Immigration has often been a topic that sparks strong emotions around the globe, and it is an especially hot topic this election season, particularly when you have a U.S. presidential candidate characterizing undocumented immigrants not as “human” but rather as “animals” and using phrases such as “they are poisoning the blood of our country” at campaign rallies. Now seems to be a perfect time for a powerful new film, The Absence of Eden, to perhaps help lower the temperature and show the human side of those trying to cross the border into a new and hopefully better life.

In this week’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo crosses into unfamiliar territory to discuss “The Absence of Eden” with star Zoe Saldana (“Avatar,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) and her husband and first-time director Marco Perego-Saldana. The film follows multiple characters from both sides of the U.S./Mexico border and revolves around the dilemmas faced in dealing with the many hardships brought on by immigration laws and the enforcement of those laws.
