As a movie enthusiast with over three decades of film-watching under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming sports drama “Marty Supreme” is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the cinematic landscape. The casting of Grammy-winning artist Tyler, the Creator in his feature film debut as an actor adds a layer of intrigue to an already enticing project.
The highly anticipated sports movie from A24, featuring Timothée Chalamet, has brought on board Grammy-winning artist Tyler, the Creator as part of its stellar cast. Directed by Josh Safdie of ‘Uncut Gems’ fame, this upcoming film focuses on ping pong and represents Tyler’s debut in acting on the big screen. The multi-talented musician lends an air of mystery to an already captivating production, a project that thrives under a director who often gives first roles to fresh acting talents.
In the vein of diversity, Josh Safdie’s film, titled Marty Supreme, from A24 brings Tyler, the Creator into the principal cast alongside Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow. Co-written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, this atypical sports movie focuses on a fictional portrayal of legendary ping pong player Marty Reisman, whose career began as a hustler before he ascended to become a world champion, earning 22 major ping pong titles between 1946 and 2002. Few specifics have been disclosed about the project, but it represents director Josh Safdie’s initial feature film venture without his brother Benny Safdie, an accomplished filmmaker. To put it simply, it embodies the unique style that one has come to expect from the creator behind Uncut Gems. In July, A24 shared the first teaser image for Marty Supreme on their X/Twitter account.
Tyler, the Creator is among the three main actors confirmed for an upcoming film, alongside Gwyneth Paltrow. Following a short break from acting, Paltrow will reappear on the big screen for the first time since “Avengers: Endgame.” Previously, she starred in the Netflix series “The Politician” between 2019 and 2020, but her acting comeback will now be showcased in “Marty Supreme.” Initially, Paltrow mentioned that perhaps Robert Downey Jr. could entice her back to acting, but it appears that the role in “A24’s Marty Supreme” was the one she was destined for.
Tyler, the Creator Adds Actor to Musician Title
It isn’t certain what part Tyler, the Creator plays in the movie “Marty Supreme,” but it will mark a fresh venture for this exceptionally gifted musician and fashion designer. Besides winning Grammys for his renowned albums, he has contributed original music to various projects, such as the theme song for the 2018 animated film “The Grinch.” However, his acting portfolio is minimal at best, with previous roles primarily voiceovers like Jesus on Netflix’s “Big Mouth” in Season 6. He also starred in a sketch comedy series titled “Lioter Squad,” where his comedic abilities shone brightly. Regardless of the sparse acting credentials, it’s evident that Tyler has more to reveal, and “Marty Supreme” might be his chance to shine as an actor.
Given Tyler, the Creator’s distinct style, A24’s “Marty Supreme” appears to be a project tailored for him. Director Josh Safdie often collaborates with non-actors in significant roles, such as casting Kevin Garnett, a former NBA star, in a powerful part in “Uncut Gems”. Garnett delivered an exceptional performance that complemented Adam Sandler’s well. Similarly, Tyler, the Creator, like Garnett, has a bold personality that stands out. Therefore, it seems plausible that Safdie could utilize this characteristic effectively in “Marty Supreme”.
