Everything We Know About 'Marty Supreme.' Plus, the Trailer

Timothée Chalamet is generating major buzz once again—this time for his role in Josh Safdie’s upcoming film Marty Supreme, which just debuted its first trailer ahead of its Christmas 2025 release.

Best known for Dune and Call Me By Your Name, Chalamet takes the lead in the sports period drama, loosely inspired by the life and rise of professional table tennis legend Marty Reisman, though Safdie’s version is not a straight biopic. Chalamet is also co-producing the project with cult-favorite indie powerhouse A24.

Reisman, born in the 1930s on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, discovered the sport’s artistry as a young man. Hustling games for bets and prizes, he steadily climbed the ranks to become the U.S. men’s singles champion, earning the nickname “The Wizard of Table Tennis.” His six-decade career was immortalized in his 1974 memoir The Money Player: The Confessions of America’s Greatest Table Tennis Player and Hustler, and now, with Safdie’s kinetic filmmaking and Chalamet’s star power, Marty Supreme is poised to serve up one of the most anticipated releases of the holiday season.

Now that more details have emerged, Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme will follow a fictionalized version of Reisman’s rise in the world of competitive table tennis, blending real-life inspiration with Safdie’s signature gritty storytelling. The film boasts an all-star ensemble cast, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Fran Drescher, Tyler, the Creator, and Odessa A’zion. It also marks Safdie’s highly anticipated directorial return after his critically acclaimed 2019 hit Uncut Gems.

The first on-set images surfaced in September 2024, revealing a dramatically transformed Timothée Chalamet—sporting a moustache, shorter hair, and steel-rimmed glasses. Leaked photos captured an intimate moment between Chalamet and Paltrow, as their characters share a passionate kiss in a Central Park tunnel, hinting at a romantic subplot alongside the film’s high-stakes sports drama. However, it seems Marty may have more than one love interest, as in the trailer, he appears to also be with Odessa A’zion’s character. 

The Marty Supreme release date is officially set for Christmas 2025, making it one of the most anticipated films for fans of Timothée Chalamet and Josh Safdie. The sports drama will hit theaters just in time for the holiday season, giving “Chalamaniacs” another reason to celebrate.
