Gwyneth Paltrow Joins Timothée Chalamet in Josh Safdie’s ‘Marty Supreme’
Shakespeare in Love Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow is returning to the big screen.
The Goop founder will join Timothée Chalamet in A24’s Marty Supreme, to be directed by Josh Safdie from an original screenplay he co-wrote with Ronald Bronstein. Plot details remain under wraps, but while it was previously rumored to be loosely inspired by a pro ping-pong player, the movie is said to be a fictionalized original film.

Paltrow’s most recent movie credit was five years ago in Avengers: Endgame, and she’s also starred in Sliding Doors, Proof, Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums, Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, David Fincher’s Seven, the Farrelly brothers’ Shallow Hal and Alfonso Cuarón’s Great Expectations during her long career.
Marty Supreme will be produced by Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, Bronstein, Safdie, Chalamet and A24. The project reunites Safdie with A24 after the company produced his two most recent films, Good Time (2017) and Uncut Gems (2019), both of which he co-directed with his brother Benny Safdie.
The Safdies are no longer planning to co-direct projects but continue to produce together through their company Elara Pictures. Bronstein has writing credits on both the Robert Pattinson-led Good Time and the Adam Sandler-starring Uncut Gems.
Chalamet’s recent credits include the movies Dune: Part Two, Wonka and Bones and All. He is set to star as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s biopic A Complete Unknown, which counts Chalamet as a producer.
Marty Supreme would mark Josh Safdie’s first solo directorial feature since 2008’s The Pleasure of Being Robbed. Benny Safdie is directing Dwayne Johnson in A24’s The Smashing Machine, a biopic of former wrestler and mixed martial artist Mark Kerr.
