Marty Supreme Unveils Its First Trailer, A24 Yet Again Stages a Cult Classic
After months of anticipation, Josh Safdie’s latest sports‑dramedy, Marty Supreme, finally drops a teaser on the 2025 slate. The film stars Timothée Chalamet as the spirited table‑tennis ace Marty Mauser, a man forging a destiny marked by relentless ambition and unapologetic confidence.
Plot Highlights
Marty, living in the 1950s, embarks on a journey that will test his limits in both triumph and torment. With the conviction that his talent is a moral duty rather than a mere gift, he pursues greatness against all odds.
Key Moment from the Trailer
“I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m telling you, this game fills stadiums overseas,” declares Marty in her cinematic debut. “And it’s only a matter of time before I’m staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.”
Cast & Crew
- Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser
- Gwyneth Paltrow as a film star entangled in Marty’s romantic saga
- Odessa, A’zion in a supporting role

Directed by Josh Safdie from a co‑written script with Ronald Bronstein, this film is Safdie’s first solo outing since Uncut Gems in 2019. It also marks the first project where the director does not collaborate with his brother Benny.
Historical Roots
The narrative loosely follows the real life of Marty Reisman, an American table‑tennis legend who earned five bronze medals in World Championships. Safdie’s adaptation infuses personal ambition with broad cultural resonance.
Production & Release
— A24’s most expensive production to date, with a $70 million budget.
While Chalamet’s role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown recently vaulted him to international acclaim, he balances this new endeavour with ongoing work on Dune: Part Three. The blending of historical roots, contemporary talent, and bold direction ensures that Marty Supreme will be a defining cinematic moment in 2025.
