Bronstein spoke to THR about the film.
“Marty was put on Earth being the best at this thing, better than anybody else on the planet. It just so happens that this thing that he’s the best at sounds so stupid to everybody around him. I was like, ‘Oh, there’s my access point.’ What a great conduit to explore the costs that are associated with a pursuit.”
Safdie added,
“The movie was about all these different modalities or types of birth, there’s a birth of a new sport, and there’s a birth of the identity of a young man. We were telling this story of a young man with endless, boundless energy.”
Chalamet praised Josh and spoke about his collaboration.
“Everyone knew how unique it was to have an opportunity to be working on an original film with a brilliant director at the height of his powers. Josh is singularly focused and one of the most brilliant, detail-oriented people I’ve ever worked with. He’s as passionate as Marty Mauser.”
Marty Supreme was released on December 25, 2025, by A24.
