Actor Timotheé Chalamet Engages in Table Tennis in the Marty Supreme Trailer, Unveiling New Details
In the world of cinema, anticipation is building for the release of the sports drama film, Marty Supreme. Directed by Josh Safdie, this captivating production promises to take audiences on a journey through 1950s New York City. The film, loosely inspired by the life of legendary table tennis player Marty Reisman, is not a biopic but a compelling tale of ambition, love, and the challenges faced in establishing a sport as respected as any other.
At the heart of the story is Marty Mauser, played by Timothée Chalamet. Marty is a driven young man with an unyielding passion for ping pong. His journey is one of pursuing greatness despite the lack of respect for his sport, navigating personal sacrifices, and complex romantic entanglements. Notably, Marty becomes involved with a glamorous movie star, portrayed by Gwyneth Paltrow, and his mother is brought to life by Fran Drescher.
The film's stellar cast also includes Odessa A'zion as Marty's love interest, Kevin O'Leary as a skeptical character who underestimates ping pong's relevance, and Tyler The Creator, magician Penn Jillette, Sandra Bernhard, and Abel Ferrara. This marks Tyler's first appearance in any feature film, while Penn Jillette is known as the taller, more verbal half of the famed magical duo Penn & Teller.
Marty Supreme is produced by indie powerhouse A24 and is set to hit theaters on December 25, 2025. Josh Safdie, who cowrote the script with Ronald Bronstein, has previously directed films such as Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler and Good Time with Robert Pattinson. This is Gwyneth Paltrow's first non-Marvel movie role since Mortdecai a decade ago.
Leaked pictures of Timothée Chalamet on the set of Marty Supreme were seen in fall 2024, and a trailer for the film has been released. The story about Marty Supreme originally appeared in British GQ. Josh Safdie's brother and until-recently directorial partner is Benny Safdie.
Intriguingly, Marty Reisman, the character Marty Mauser is based upon, was the 1958 and 1960 US singles men's ping-pong champion. Marty Reisman also won the 1997 US national hardbat championships at the age of 67, showcasing his enduring passion for the sport.
