Gwyneth Paltrow is back.
The Oscar winner and Goop mastermind is joining Timothée Chalamet in Josh Safdie‘s ping pong movie “Marty Supreme.” The project marks Paltrow’s first on-screen movie role since 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.”
No information was given about Paltrow’s role.
Plot details for “Marty Supreme” are kept under wraps, but studio A24 posted an image of a table tennis ball with the words “coming soon” after Variety broke news of the project in July.
Paltrow, one of the most acclaimed and commercially successful actors since the 1990s, has been largely absent from the big screen since acting opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the “Iron Man” and “Avengers” movies. Best known for her Academy Award-winning role in “Shakespeare in Love,” as well as “Sliding Doors,” “Emma,” “Se7en,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” “Proof” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” Paltrow has lately devoted much of her time to the lifestyle brand Goop, which she founded in 2008.
Paltrow also played a key role in the #MeToo movement, speaking out against Harvey Weinstein and serving as a major source in the New York Times investigation of the disgraced producer. Paltrow had an uncredited voice role in the 2022 drama “She Said,” about the reporters who wrote the exposé.
The original screenplay for “Marty Supreme” was written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, who both produce alongside Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas and Chalamet.
Safdie, who is best known for directing “Uncut Gems” and “Good Time” with his brother, Benny Safdie, takes on his first solo feature directorial effort since 2008 with “Marty Supreme.” He recently helmed Adam Sandler’s latest comedy special for Netflix titled “Love You,” and he’s also working with Sandler on a separate movie set in the world of sports memorabilia and baseball.
