Timothée Chalamet closed out 2025 with Marty Supreme, a gritty A24 drama directed by Josh Safdie and written by the filmmaker alongside longtime collaborator Ronald Bronstein. The film marked Safdie’s first solo feature since splitting directing duties with his brother Benny—and his solo work has paid off, as the film is now nominated for nine Oscars at the 2026 Academy Awards. The ceremony will air on Sunday, March 15.
Set primarily in 1950s New York and inspired by real-life ping-pong legend Marty Reisman, Marty Supreme follows Marty Mauser (Chalamet), a relentless young table tennis prodigy whose talent is matched only by his appetite for risk.
Chalamet has spoken openly about how personal the project felt. “In spirit, this is the most who I was that I’ve had to play a role,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “This is who I was before I had a career.” He added, “Some people are fortunate enough to stumble into their success or be passive about their pursuit of whatever they want to do in life. That wasn’t it for me.”
Chalamet shares the screen with a number of familiar faces. Gwyneth Paltrow stars as Kay Stone, a former movie star contemplating a return to the spotlight who becomes involved with Marty at a crossroads in her life. Kevin O’Leary (a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank) makes his feature film debut as her wealthy husband, while I Love LA star Odessa A’zion plays Rachel, Marty’s closest confidante. The ensemble also includes Tyler, the Creator, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara, and more.
For Paltrow, Marty Supreme marked her first on-screen role in several years—and one she nearly passed on. “My managers texted me and said, ‘There’s a great director named Josh Safdie who’s very interested in having you playing this part in a movie,’” she told Gold Derby. “I wrote back, ‘Maybe.’” After watching Uncut Gems, she changed her mind, adding, “I just kind of thought, ‘All right, well, I’ll do it. I’ll move to New York and do it.’ And I’m so glad I did. It was such a wonderful experience.”
Paltrow described Kay as “shut-down” and emotionally fractured, saying she was drawn to “how broken she seemed, and very fascinated by the journey that I saw her going on in my mind’s eye.” She also praised Safdie’s approach, calling him “one of the greats” and noting that he constantly pushed scenes toward something unpredictable and alive.
Chalamet, meanwhile, committed to the role years before cameras rolled. In an appearance on Good Morning America in December, he revealed that he worked with a table tennis coach for six years to prepare. “He has a huge dream,” Chalamet said of Marty. “And when you have a big dream in life, and you don’t really have anyone supporting you when you’re young, you’re your best supporter.”
When asked about one of the scenes he connected with most, Chalamet highlighted a line delivered by Paltrow’s character. “What do you plan to do if this little dream of yours doesn’t work out?” Kay asks Marty. His response: “That doesn’t even enter my consciousness.”
Chalamet’s commitment to the role has paid off during awards season. He earned the Critics Choice Award for Best Actor and the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. He also received Oscar nominations for Best Actor, and the film received nods for Best Picture, Original Screenplay, Directing, and more.
Here’s how to watch Marty Supreme ahead of the Oscar Sunday.
The film is available to rent on Apple TV. Amazon Prime Video users can also purchase and rent the film.
According to Entertainment Weekly, “HBO Max confirmed in January 2026 that Marty Supreme was heading to the platform as part of the streamer's ongoing partnership with A24, the studio behind Safdie's film.”
Just after the Oscars, HBO Max announced their streaming premiere date as April 24.
For now, Safdie and Chalamet are firmly focused on the big-screen experience, and the film is still available in theaters. “This is an original film at a time where a lot of original films aren’t made,” Chalamet told the BBC. “If you bring yourself to see this movie, you won’t be let down.”
“I do think cinemas will survive and thrive. And that’s not to be a false optimist,” he added.
