Marty Supreme<\/a>, starring Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet as a Ping-Pong champ who romances Gwyneth Paltrow in 1950s-era New York City, is reportedly<\/a> A24\u2019s most costly production ever with a budget of $70 million \u2014\u00a0and no one can say that Chalamet isn\u2019t putting in the work to make it all pay off. From bouncing around New York for promo to making orange Ping-Pong balls his new aesthetic, the 29-year-old actor is taking his Oscars narrative into his own hands, serving up his own album-rollout-inspired promo ahead of the film\u2019s premiere this Christmas.<\/p>\n February 23, 2025: <\/strong>\u201cI know we\u2019re in a subjective business, but the truth is I\u2019m really in pursuit of greatness,\u201d Chalamet says at the SAG Awards<\/a>. \u201cI know people don\u2019t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats.\u201d The wording of his speech echoes the Marty Supreme logline: \u201cMarty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n April 21, 2025: <\/strong>Chalamet attends a New York Knicks game with Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie at Madison Square Garden. His courtside reactions have already turned him into a mascot for the team during a dramatic comeback in the NBA playoffs. See how passionate he is about NYC and sports with orange balls?<\/p>\n May 7, 2025: <\/strong>He makes his red-carpet debut with girlfriend Kylie Jenner at the David di Donatello Awards, where he\u2019s being honored for Cinematic Excellence. Let it be known he can romance international superstars.<\/p>\n June 29, 2025: <\/strong>Fans notice<\/a> that Supreme season has begun: Chalamet has updated his Instagram bio to include the film\u2019s title and the Ping-Pong-paddle emoji.<\/p>\n October 6, 2025:<\/strong> \ufeffMarty Supreme has its surprise world premiere at New York Film Festival. Chalamet pops out<\/a> and tells the audience it\u2019s \u201cfucking awesome\u201d that the film is debuting at Lincoln Center\u2019s Alice Tully Hall because it\u2019s down the street from his old high school. From the start, this press tour is personal.<\/p>\n October 7, 2025: <\/strong>The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> publishes a feature in which Chalamet shares that he has been practicing Ping-Pong for six years, ever since Safdie mentioned the then-unfinanced film to him in 2018. \u201cI had a table in London while I was making\u00a0Wonka,\u201d he recalls. \u201cOn\u00a0Dune 2, I had a table in Budapest, Jordan. I had a table in Abu Dhabi. I had a table at the Cannes Film Festival for\u00a0The French Dispatch. I got myself an Airbnb in a town [around] Saint-Tropez after\u00a0The French Dispatch, overlooking the water, and I was taking lessons there.\u201d During COVID lockdowns, he replaced his living-room furniture with a Ping-Pong table.<\/p>\n\n Also on October 7, Chalamet goes live<\/a> on Instagram in a Ping-Pong-ball mask while in a box filled with flying Ping-Pong balls. In the livestream, set to an EDM track sampling a monologue from the 2001 film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Chalamet is one of many people whose faces are covered by orange spheres. But he eventually takes off his mask to reveal a buzz cut and remind people that Marty Supreme is coming out on Christmas. Is the new haircut intended to make his head look more like a Ping-Pong ball so that we subconsciously associate him with the sport? If he pops out with an orange spray tan next, we\u2019re going to start getting suspicious \u2026<\/p>\n October 9, 2025: <\/strong>Chalamet invites his Instagram followers to meet him at Regal Times Square to watch the first 30 minutes of Marty Supreme by scrawling the message on his Instagram Story in orange. That night, he enters the theater flanked by a group of people wearing the Ping-Pong ball masks from his livestream. At what point does he bring out the giant paddle?<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5 New video of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet arriving at Regal Times Square tonight!pic.twitter.com\/EwG0kUZbJz<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet Updates \ud83c\udfd3 (@timotheeupdates) October 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Related<\/p>\n \n
