Timothée Chalamet’s new movie, *Marty Supreme*, is A24’s most expensive project to date, costing $70 million to produce. The film, set in 1950s New York City, features Chalamet as a Ping-Pong champion who falls in love with Gwyneth Paltrow. Chalamet is heavily promoting the film, embracing the Ping-Pong theme in his publicity appearances and strategically building Oscar buzz with a unique promotional campaign ahead of its Christmas release.
Early press, premieres, and a haircut
At the SAG Awards on February 23, 2025, Timothée Chalamet expressed his ambition, stating, “I’m really in pursuit of greatness.” He acknowledged that this kind of talk isn’t common, but emphasized his desire to be remembered as one of the best. Interestingly, his words mirrored the premise of his film *Marty Supreme*, which tells the story of a young man named Marty Mauser who relentlessly chases greatness despite facing skepticism, even going to extreme lengths to achieve it.
On April 21, 2025, Timothée Chalamet went to a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden with director Josh Safdie. His enthusiastic reactions during a thrilling playoff comeback have quickly made him a fan favorite and something of a team symbol. It’s clear he’s a passionate supporter of both New York City and basketball!
On May 7, 2025, he attended the David di Donatello Awards with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, marking his first appearance on a major red carpet. He was recognized for his contributions to cinema, and the event showcased his ability to connect with prominent international figures.
On June 29, 2025, fans realized that promotion for the movie *Supreme* had started. Timothée Chalamet changed his Instagram bio to mention the film’s title and added a ping-pong paddle emoji.
I was absolutely thrilled to hear that *Marty Supreme* had its surprise world premiere at the New York Film Festival on October 6th, 2025! Apparently, Timothée Chalamet even showed up and told everyone how amazing it was to be debuting the film at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall – it turns out it’s right near where he went to high school. Right from the start, it was clear this press tour was going to be different – much more personal than usual.
On October 7, 2025, *The Hollywood Reporter* published a story revealing Timothée Chalamet has been playing Ping-Pong seriously for six years. It all started in 2018 when the Safdie brothers mentioned a future film project to him. Chalamet took the hobby seriously, setting up Ping-Pong tables wherever he filmed. He had one in London while making *Wonka*, in Budapest and Jordan during *Dune 2*, and even in Abu Dhabi. He also brought a table to the Cannes Film Festival for *The French Dispatch* and rented an Airbnb near Saint-Tropez after filming to take lessons. During the COVID lockdowns, he even replaced his living room furniture with a Ping-Pong table.
On October 7th, Timothée Chalamet did a playful Instagram Live stream. He appeared wearing a mask shaped like a ping-pong ball, surrounded by flying ping-pong balls. The stream featured electronic music that included a quote from the movie *Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back*. Chalamet was among a group of people with their faces hidden by orange spheres. He eventually removed his mask, revealing a newly shaved head, and reminded everyone that his movie, *Marty Supreme*, will be released on Christmas. This new haircut has led to speculation – is he trying to look more like a ping-pong ball to promote the sport? Fans are jokingly wondering if he’ll appear next with an orange tan, further connecting him to the theme.
On October 9, 2025, Timothée Chalamet announced on Instagram that he’d be at the Regal Times Square theater, showing the first 30 minutes of his new movie, *Marty Supreme*. He posted the invite as a handwritten message in orange on his Instagram Story. That evening, he arrived at the theater with a group of people wearing the ping-pong ball masks from a previous livestream. The question is: when does he reveal the oversized paddle?
