Los Angeles, California – After a hiatus from the silver screen, Gwyneth Paltrow, an Academy Award-winning actress known for her role in “Shakespeare in Love,” is making a comeback. Recently announced, Paltrow is set to star alongside Timothée Chalamet in A24’s upcoming film “Marty Supreme,” directed by Josh Safdie.
This project marks Paltrow’s return to a significant film role since her appearance in “Avengers: Endgame” in 2019. While details about the plot remain undisclosed, sources have hinted that the film draws inspiration from pro ping pong player Marty Reisman, although it is emphasized as a fictional and original creation, not a biopic. The character Paltrow will portray has yet to be revealed.
Josh Safdie, known for his work on acclaimed films like “Uncut Gems” and “Good Time,” will be co-writing and producing “Marty Supreme” alongside Ronald Bronstein, Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, Chalamet, and A24. This project also signifies Safdie’s solo direction since “The Pleasure of Being Robbed” in 2008, following a recent decision to pursue individual directing careers while still collaborating on productions through Elara Pictures.
Paltrow’s acting career spans various genres and roles, earning her an Oscar for “Shakespeare in Love” and a Golden Globe nomination for “Proof.” Her notable performances in Marvel films as Pepper Potts, alongside appearances in films like “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” and “Contagion,” have solidified her presence in the entertainment industry.
In television, Paltrow has showcased her talent in Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan’s “The Politician” on Netflix and received an Emmy for her work on Fox’s “Glee” in 2011. Represented by CAA, Lighthouse Management & Media, Gang, Tyre, Ramer, and Latham & Watkins, Paltrow continues to captivate audiences with her versatile performances and her highly anticipated return to the big screen in “Marty Supreme” is eagerly awaited by fans and critics alike.
