Gwyneth Paltrow is making her return to the big screen for the first time since Avengers: Endgame. The Oscar winner will join Timothée Chalamet in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, a new film for A24 about a ping pong champion, Marty Reisman.
The plot and character details for Marty Supreme are currently under wraps, but the film is an original story penned by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein. Produced by Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas, the biopic also sees Bronstein, Safdie, and Chalamet taking on producer roles in collaboration with A24.
In 2022, Paltrow reflected on her break from acting, explaining that she didn’t miss the hustle of it at all.
“The team is always trying to get me to do a movie, but I really love what I do,” she told the Today show. “And I love how immediate it is, and how, you know, we’re able to create product out of thin air that we believe in so much.“
Since reprising her role as Pepper Potts in 2019’s MCU megahit, Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in the series The Politician in 2020. She expressed a desire to one day perform in a Broadway play. She had made a promise to her mother Blythe Danner that “at some point before I die,” she would do a play.
“I’m going to deliver on that promise at some point,” she said.
