Marty Supreme is a 2025 American sports comedy-drama film directed by Josh Safdie, who co-wrote it with Ronald Bronstein. Set in the 1950s, it stars Timothée Chalamet as table tennis player Marty Mauser (loosely based on Marty Reisman) and follows his quest to become world champion. Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher appear in supporting roles. Safdie and Bronstein began developing the film in 2018 after Safdie was given a copy of Reisman's 1974 memoir, The Money Player: The Confessions of America's Greatest Table Tennis Champion and Hustler. Safdie met with Chalamet in 2018 and offered him the lead role. Following a multi-year development period, the project was officially announced in July 2024. It marks Safdie's first solo directorial effort since The Pleasure of Being Robbed (2008), having directed together with his brother Benny their following five films. Cinematographer Darius Khondji shot on 35 mm film stock and Safdie's regular collaborator Daniel Lopatin composed the score. Production design was led by Jack Fisk. Marty Supreme premiered at the New York Film Festival on October 6, 2025 and was released in the United States on December 25 by A24. It received critical acclaim and was a box-office success, grossing $192 million worldwide and becoming A24's highest-grossing film. The National Board of Review and the American Film Institute each named it one of their top ten films of 2025. It was also nominated for several awards including nine at the 98th Academy Awards and eleven at the 79th British Academy Film Awards. Chalamet won Best Actor at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice for his performance.
