<i>Marty Supreme</i>: Everything We Know

Timothée Chalamet stays booked and busy. His next film, Marty Supreme, is brought to you by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems) and A24. Safdie wrote the script with his frequent collaborator, Ronald Bronstein, whom he also worked with on Uncut Gems and Good Time. Here’s everything we know so far about the project.

Marty Supreme is a fictionalized story of the real-life, award-winning table tennis player, Marty Reisman, whose name in the film has been changed to Marty Mauser. Per Variety, the synopsis reads: “A young man with a dream no one respects goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.”

Marty Reisman circa 1946.

Timothée Chalamet plays the titular character, Marty Mauser, and produces the film. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a famous actress that Marty begins a relationship with. The cast is rounded out by Tyler, the Creator, Odessa A’zion, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, and Fran Drescher as Marty’s mom.

The film’s cinematographer, Darius Khondji, spoke about how Chalamet prepped for the role. “He wanted to be like a real [professional] ping pong player when he started shooting,” Khondji told Variety. He also added that the actor is “going to be very different than the Timothée Chalamet you’ve seen so far,” and that he doesn’t think “people are going to recognize him at all.”

And Paltrow spoke about what it was like to work with Chalamet. “I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie,” she told Vanity Fair. “There’s a lot—a lot.” She also teased their characters’ dynamic. “This woman is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia, as it were... They meet and she’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.”

Marty Supreme will hit theaters on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, 2025.

On August 13, A24 released the official teaser.
