Marty Supreme Goes Balls to the Wall

Timothée Chalamet seems to have found a role that really fits him. In the trailer for Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, his character, Marty Mauser, is completely focused on becoming the best ping-pong player in the world – a level of dedication that mirrors Chalamet’s own ambition as an actor. When Gwyneth Paltrow’s character asks what he’ll do if his dream fails, Marty immediately replies that he doesn’t even consider the possibility. This unwavering determination echoes Chalamet’s statement, “I’m really in pursuit of greatness.” He explained in his 2025 SAG Awards acceptance speech for A Complete Unknown that he’s inspired by those who strive for excellence, admitting, “I know people don’t usually talk like that.” By the end of the trailer, Marty confidently predicts, “It’s only a matter of time before I’m on the cover of a Wheaties box.”

Fans of the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems will find a similar frantic energy in this new film, even though Benny Safdie isn’t involved. Like Adam Sandler’s character in Uncut Gems, the main character, Marty, is constantly rushing around New York City and clashing with those around him. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Kay Stone, a wealthy and spoiled wife and former actress, and she starts the trailer by scolding Marty. Kevin O’Leary, known as Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, also appears as her husband, Milton Rockwell, and delivers lines sounding very much like himself. Tyler, the Creator, plays Marty’s close friend, Wally, and Odessa A’zion, currently starring in I Love LA, plays his girlfriend, Rachel, and passionately asks, “Have you ever thought about what you’re doing to me?” (Fran Drescher will also appear as Marty’s mother, but isn’t in this trailer.) Marty Supreme will be released on Christmas, making it Timothée Chalamet’s third Christmas movie in three years. The question is, will it be as successful as Wonka and A Complete Unknown? Marty Mauser certainly hopes so.
