UPDATE: The highly anticipated trailer for A24’s new film ‘Marty Supreme’, starring Timothée Chalamet, has just dropped, and it promises to redefine the sports biopic genre. Chalamet takes center stage as Marty Mauser, a young table tennis prodigy in 1950s New York, aiming for global stardom in a sport that was then largely overlooked.
The trailer opens with a dramatic twist on Tears for Fears’ hit “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” instantly setting a serious tone. This film marks Josh Safdie’s re-emergence as a solo director, his first major project since 2008, and it appears poised for award season success.
Chalamet, known for his Oscar-nominated roles, embodies the character based on real-life table tennis champion Marty Reisman, who was famously dubbed “The Needle” for his quick wit and agility. The film features a star-studded cast including Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Fran Drescher, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who are expected to play significant roles in Mauser’s journey.
As the trailer unfolds, viewers get a glimpse of high-stakes ping pong matches intertwined with emotional struggles, highlighting the personal and professional obstacles Mauser faces. The film is set to hit theaters on December 25, 2025, just in time for the holiday season, positioning it as a feel-good sports drama.
The film aims to stand out in a market that rarely showcases table tennis, making it a unique addition to the genre. With expectations running high, ‘Marty Supreme’ looks to deliver a gripping narrative of determination and ambition.
Fans and critics alike are already buzzing about the film, making it a trending topic on social media. Early reactions to the trailer suggest that Chalamet’s performance could once again be a strong contender in upcoming award ceremonies.
