- *Marty Supreme* stars Timothée Chalamet as an ego-driven ping-pong prodigy in 1950s New York City.

- Josh Safdie's film is nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

- It'll be available to stream on HBO Max later this year.

Timothée Chalamet's dynamic performance in *Marty Supreme* earned the 30-year-old star trophies at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. Next up? The Academy Awards.

Chalamet's turn as Marty Mauser in Josh Safdie's dazzling (and dizzying) ping-pong drama scored the actor his third Oscar nod. It's one of nine total nominations for the movie, which is also up for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.

If you missed Marty's antics in theaters, fear not. Here's how you can watch *Marty Supreme* at home.**

What is Marty Supreme about?

Chalamet leads *Marty Supreme* as Marty Mauser, a hot-shot ping-pong player (and shoe salesman) in New York City in the 1950s. Marty, who was loosely based on real-life ping-pong legend Marty Reisman, schemes his way to competitions across the globe and hustles for pocket cash.

But his dreams of greatness come at a cost to those in his orbit, including an off-and-on lover (Odessa A'zion), a business-minded pal (Luke Manley), and a retired actress who can't resist his charm (Gwyneth Paltrow). Soon, he's run afoul of both a terrifying gangster (Abel Ferrara) and a wealthy pen magnate (*Shark Tank*'s Kevin O'Leary).

Safdie, the co-director of indie hits *Good Time* (2017) and *Uncut Gems* (2019), has a talent for nerve-shredding storytelling and impeccably cast ensembles, blending professional actors with local figures who exude authenticity. *Marty Supreme*'s supporting cast is rounded out by a slew of surprising faces, from rapper Tyler "the Creator" Okonma and fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi to famed highwire artist Philippe Petit and former NBA star George "Iceman" Gervin.

"It always starts with the face," said the film's casting director, Jennifer Venditti, in an interview with *.* "And the thing that's so lucky is Josh [Safdie] and I have this kind of kindred spirit. We see the cinema of real life. I'm looking for life expressed on a face. And it doesn't mean that you have to have lived a long time. It’s just like an aliveness. It's in the eyes, it's in the quality of the skin. And it pulls you in. It makes you want to know more."**

HBO Max confirmed in January 2026 that *Marty Supreme* was heading to the platform as part of the streamer's ongoing partnership with A24, the studio behind Safdie's film.

An exact date has yet to be announced, but A24 films typically hit the streamer within three to five months of their theatrical debut. For example, the Oscar-nominated *If I Had Legs I'd Kick You*, also produced by A24, hit the streamer in late January 2026 after debuting in theaters on Oct. 10, 2025. *The Brutalist*, meanwhile, opened in December 2024 and premiered on HBO Max in May 2025.

If that trend continues, you can expect to see *Marty Supreme*, which premiered on Christmas Day in 2025, streaming on HBO Max sometime in April or May of this year.**
