The buzz for “Marty Supreme” is real, especially after the trailer dropped. Directed by Uncut Gems filmmaker Josh Safdie, the movie mixes drama, sports, and 1950s flair—this time in the world of competitive ping pong. Timothée Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser, an ambitious player chasing greatness while falling for a glamorous movie star (Gwyneth Paltrow). Fresh off “A Complete Unknown“, this is a big switch for Chalamet.
“Marty Supreme” Premise and Details
Loosely inspired by real-life champion Marty Reisman, the story dives into Marty’s uphill battle to prove himself, set against the sport’s growing popularity. The trailer teases thrilling matches, romantic sparks, and plenty of personal stakes.
The cast is stacked: Fran Drescher as Marty’s mother, Tyler, the Creator, Kevin O’Leary, Penn Jillette, and Odessa A’zion all join Chalamet and Paltrow. Safdie co-wrote the script with Ronald Bronstein, with A24 backing the project and cinematography by Darius Khondji—who says Chalamet trained hard to nail the role.
From the high-energy gameplay to the romance and ambition, “Marty Supreme” promises more than just a sports movie—it’s a full-on cinematic experience. It hits theaters December 25, and with its star power, period style, and Safdie’s signature edge, it’s shaping up to be a must-see this holiday season.
