Timothée Chalamet is stepping into teehe intense, competitive world of ping pong in A24’s Marty Supreme. This upcoming sports drama blends obsession, ambition, and emotion — showcasing what happens when one man’s dream pushes him to the edge.
Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser, a character loosely based on real-life ping pong legend Marty Reisman. Despite the world doubting him, Marty is convinced that he’s destined for greatness. His journey from a broke dreamer to a rising ping pong star is full of sacrifice, setbacks, and self-belief.
The Struggle Behind the Dream
The trailer begins with Gwyneth Paltrow as Kay Stone, a once-famous actress questioning Marty’s unrealistic ambitions. Broke and jobless, Marty survives by hustling and pawning his belongings. Yet, the more people doubt him, the stronger his resolve grows.
As his fame rises, Marty’s passion turns into obsession — leading him down darker paths and into dangerous deals that threaten everything he cares about.
Cast and Crew
Marty Supreme is directed by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems) and co-written with Ronald Bronstein. The film features an impressve lineup:
- Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser
- Gwyneth Paltrow as Kay Stone
- Odessa A’Zion
- Tyler, The Creator

Reportedly, Marty Supreme is A24’s most expensive film yet, combining Safdie’s chaotic energy with Chalamet’s magnetic performance.
A Big Year for the Safdie Brothers
2025 is shaping up to be huge for both Safdie brothers. While Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is already generating Oscar buzz, Benny Safdie is earning praise for The Smashing Machine — a gripping sports biopic starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.
Together, the two films represent A24’s biggest and boldest year yet — and prove that the Safdies remain among the most daring storytellers in Hollywood.
