Tyler, the Creator will make his feature film debut alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet in the new A24 film Marty Supreme, directed and co-written by Josh Safdie. According to Variety, the movie was inspired by professional ping pong player Marty Reisman.
A24 is keeping most of the film’s details under wraps for now, though Reisman was known for his eccentric fashion sense and international title-winning skill. Upon the movie’s announcement, A24 shared an image of a table tennis ball to social media with the caption “coming soon”.
Tyler previously co-created Adult Swim’s The Jellies! and Loiter Squad (the latter of which he starred in with other Odd Future members); and he also created the Viceland docuseries Nuts + Bolts.
