A24 has finally dropped the much-anticipated teaser trailer for Marty Supreme, the latest fever dream from indie maverick Josh Safdie — and this time, it’s all about ping pong, pride, and pushing the limits of legacy.
Based loosely on the real-life journey of Marty Reisman, a ping pong legend and showman, the film follows Marty Mauser (played by Timothée Chalamet) — a misunderstood prodigy who fights through years of mockery, failure, and internal chaos to become the oldest person to ever win a championship title… at the age of 67. But don’t mistake this for your typical underdog sports drama. This is Safdie cinema — raw, restless, and steeped in sweat-soaked obsession.
The teaser offers flashes of smoky halls, underground matches, and Marty training in dim-lit basements, all cut to a pulse-pounding jazz-infused score. Chalamet seems to vanish into the role — wiry, eccentric, and visibly unhinged — as he transforms across decades.
The ensemble cast is nothing short of bizarre brilliance: Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, and Sandra Bernhard play pivotal women in Marty’s chaotic life, while Tyler Okonma (aka Tyler, the Creator), Kevin O’Leary, and Abel Ferrara bring their own wild energy. Yes, that's Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary as a ping pong club owner. Welcome to the Safdie universe.
Marty’s path to glory isn’t paved with gold — it’s sticky with sacrifice, ego, and a drive that borders on madness. The teaser hints at a layered narrative exploring not just victory, but what it costs to be remembered.
Releasing Christmas Day, Marty Supreme is shaping up to be the ultimate holiday curveball — unpredictable, feverish, and possibly one of Timothée Chalamet’s most daring roles yet.
