One of the biggest mysteries on the 2025 film calendar finally receives a trailer. A24 released the first footage of Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie’s sports dramedy starring Timothée Chalamet.
Marty Supreme stars Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a ping pong player in the 1950s who will go to “hell and back in pursuit of greatness.” The confident Marty believes his purpose in life is an “obligation,” not a blessing.
Marty champions ping pong culture as he travels overseas to compete against the world’s best players.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m telling you, this game, it fills stadiums overseas,” Marty says in the trailer. “And it’s only a matter of time before I’m staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.”
Gwyneth Paltrow plays a movie star who has an affair with Marty. While Paltrow provided her voice in 2022’s She Said, the Academy Award-winning actress has not appeared in a film since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
Marty Supreme’s cast includes Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary (“Mr. Wonderful” on Shark Tank), Tyler Okonma (“Tyler, the Creator”), Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher as Marty’s mother.
Josh Safdie directs Marty Supreme from a screenplay he wrote with Ronald Bronstein. It marks Safdie’s first feature film since 2019’s Uncut Gems. Marty Supreme is the first time Safdie helms a film without his brother Benny since 2008’s The Pleasure of Being Robbed.
Marty Supreme is a fictionalized account of Marty Reisman, who won five bronze medals while representing the United States at the World Table Tennis Championships.
Chalamet is coming off a successful turn as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. James Mangold’s biopic grossed $140 million and received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Actor for Chalamet.
The 29-year-old is currently filming Dune: Part Three, the epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune saga.
With a budget of $70 million, Marty Supreme is the most expensive A24 film of all time.
Marty Supreme opens in theaters on December 25, 2025.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
