Gwyneth Paltrow Joins Timothée Chalamet in Director Josh Safdie's Ping Pong Movie MARTY SUPREME

Gwyneth Paltrow is jumping back into acting as he’s been cast alongside Timothée Chalamet in director Josh Safdie‘s coming ping pong movie Marty Supreme.

This will be Paltrow’s first film project since appearing in Marvel’s 2019 movie Avengers: Endgame. There’s no information to share about her role in the film.

It’s been explained that Marty Supreme is a fictionalized story, though it is also rumored that the film is inspired by the late professional ping pong player Marty Reisman.

Reisman was a table tennis champion who started his career as a hustler in Manhattan, playing for bets and prize money. He won 22 major ping pong titles from 1946 to 2002 and won five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships.

At 67, he competed in the United States National Hardbat Championship and became the oldest player to win an open national competition in a racket sport. He was known as the “wizard of table tennis” and even opened for the Harlem Globetrotters with his ping pong comedy routine.

Marty Supreme is written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, who produce alongside Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas.
