'Marty Supreme': Plot, Release Date & Everything We Know About Upcoming Timothée Chalamet Film
A movie about ping pong that will keep us glued to the screen? We need this one.
In December, Marty Supreme, a new sports drama from Uncut Gems co-director Josh Safdie starring Timothée Chalamet, will hit theaters. Chalamet not only plays the lead role, but also serves as a co-producer.
Here is everything we know so far about one of the most highly anticipated films of the past year.
When Will 'Marty Supreme' Be Released?
In December 2024, A24 announced that Marty Supreme will be released worldwide on December 25, 2025.
What Will 'Marty Supreme' Be About?
The movie transports us to 1950s New York City – a city of jazz, cigarette smoke, and sports clubs where ping-pong is not just a game, but a true cult.
In these clubs, destinies are decided, bets are made, and reputations are ruined. This is where Marty Mauser, a young athlete inspired by the legendary showman and ping-pong champion Marty Reisman, comes to play.
Marty Supreme promises risky deals, dirty tricks, toxic relationships, and the abandonment of principles. We will witness the chronicle of an obsession where not only medals, but also the protagonist's identity is at stake.
Who Is in the Cast of 'Marty Supreme'?
The movie centers on Marty Mauser, who is played by Timothée Chalamet, and this is the actor's most significant physical transformation onscreen. He trained with professional ping-pong players for months and wore glasses over his contacts to impair his vision.
Equally intriguing is the return of Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Marty's love interest – a woman connected to the underground ping-pong mafia.
Chalamet's wife is played by Odessa A'zion. The supporting cast includes Fran Drescher as Marty's mother, arthouse director Abel Ferrara, illusionist Penn Jillette, and tightrope walker Philippe Petit.
Hip-hop artist Tyler, the Creator is set to make his feature film debut in Marty Supreme.
Why Is 'Marty Supreme' Worth Waiting For?
If you enjoy movies that make every scene feel like an adrenaline rush, Marty Supreme will be the perfect choice.
It's not a traditional Hollywood success story but rather a tense chronicle where a dream turns into an obsession and the path to fame becomes a battlefield.
Judging by the trailer, Marty Supreme promises to be a must-see for fans of A24 and Timothée Chalamet alike, as well as anyone who appreciates cinema that keeps you hooked until the end credits roll. It's a story about how sports become a metaphor for the life of a man in a perpetual struggle with himself.
