Timothée Chalamet Dominates Headlines with Marty Supreme and Bold New Projects

Hollywood’s Most Talked-About Actor

Timothée Chalamet continues to cement his status as one of cinema’s most compelling talents, capturing global attention with an unconventional promotional campaign and exciting project announcements. At age 29, he became the youngest person to win the SAG Award for Best Actor, marking a significant milestone in an already illustrious career that shows no signs of slowing down.

The Marty Supreme Marketing Phenomenon

The 1950s-set film, from director Josh Safdie, follows the fictional table-tennis champ Marty Mauser’s pursuit of greatness. What’s truly remarkable is how Chalamet is promoting it. Chalamet’s Regal event was one of many buzzy stops on his unconventional press tour, which pairs the A-lister’s flair for promotion with A24’s iconoclastic sensibilities. The campaign has included everything from surprise screenings with men in giant orange ping-pong-ball helmets to a mock marketing meeting proposing outlandish promotional stunts.

“Marty Supreme,” which is A24’s most expensive movie with a budget between $60 million to $70 million, needs a similar turnout to justify its price tag, following the success of his Bob Dylan biopic.

Dune 3 and the Mystery Haircut

Chalamet recently addressed speculation about his dramatically shorter hairstyle. “It was for a film, for ‘Dune: Part Three,’ and there’s supposed to be a nice character shift. And I’m playing 15, 20 years older, so we did a 3 millimeter hair cut”, the actor explained. The third film in Villeneuve’s adaptation is slated to release on Dec. 18, 2026 and is set to be the final film in this saga.

The EsDeeKid Rumours

Adding to the intrigue, Timothée Chalamet is feeding speculation that he could be the anonymous British rapper EsDeeKid. When directly asked about the rumours on a radio show, Chalamet said, “All will be revealed in due time”, refusing to confirm or deny his involvement with the mysterious artist who has gained millions of listeners.

Looking Ahead

Timothée Chalamet will receive the Spotlight Actor of the Year Award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards for his performance in “Marty Supreme”. As the film opens on Christmas Day, audiences and industry insiders will be watching to see if Chalamet’s creative marketing approach can redefine how independent films connect with modern audiences. With his combination of talent, ambition, and marketing savvy, Chalamet isn’t just starring in films—he’s reshaping what it means to be a movie star in 2025.
