Tyler, The Creator Dances With Timothée Chalamet in High-Octane ‘Marty Supreme’ Trailer

Tyler, The Creator is gearing up for his first feature film role in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, and the A24 film starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow released a trailer on Tuesday (Nov. 11).

Chalamet plays the role of Marty Mauser, who’s an aspiring table-tennis player who will do anything to make his professional ping-pong dreams come true. The film is loosely based on the life of world champion table-tennis player Marty Reisman.

Tyler’s character seems to be a friend of Chalamet’s Marty in the film, helping him on his journey to stardom as a sidekick. The Grammy-winning rapper makes multiple appearances in this trailer, the first of which show him with a bloody nose playing against Marty in a game of ping-pong.

“The Mouse is back, baby, yeah,” Tyler’s character shouts in another scene while driving with Marty. To close out the high-octane clip, the rapper makes a final return to bring some comedic relief as he hops out of the car to dance with Marty on the side of the road.

Marty Supreme has generated quite a bit of Oscars buzz ahead of its Christmas Day release. The cast is rounded out by Penn Jillette, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary (Mr. Wonderful) and Abel Ferrara.

Safdie held a surprise screening with the cast at the 63rd New York Film Festival in October, where the film received a standing ovation from the audience members. At the time, Tyler got on the mic and explained to the crowd why he was “beyond grateful” to the director for believing in him as a first-time actor.

“Thank you to you, Josh. Please make the biggest noise for this man,” Tyler said. “I’m so grateful, beyond grateful. I play piano and put on cool clothes. I do not act at all.”

He continued: “This man is so good that I trusted him and said, ‘Anything you need. I don’t want to read this script. I will show up and be there.’ Because I trust this man and the way he curated and handled every detail. And the team, working with y’all, it was so wonderful. I got emotional up there because you gave me a chance, so I thank you, I love you, and thank you. Please give it up.”
