"The first promotional post made by Chalamet for Marty Supreme, a film that tells the story of a young, confident ping-pong player in pursuit of greatness, appeared on his Instagram this past August. It seems that Chalamet was quite inspired by the message of his movie, as most of the promotion that followed this first announcement has heavily centered around the idea that Chalamet is also on his own journey of pursuing greatness."
"This was made evident to the public when Chalamet took the stage last February, before Marty Supreme's official promotion began, to accept the SAG Award for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. In his speech,he made it clear that this is only the beginning of his success (and the marketing for Marty Supreme). Award in hand, Chalamet stated, "I'm in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats.""
Timothée Chalamet stars in Marty Supreme, portraying Marty Mausser, a young, confident ping-pong player pursuing greatness. Chalamet invested seven years preparing for the role. Promotion for the film has prominently featured ping-pong balls, the color orange, Zoom calls, exclusive jackets, and the handle EsDeeKid. The marketing frames Chalamet's off-screen pursuit of greatness as parallel to his character's ambitions. The first promotional Instagram post appeared in August and subsequent promotion emphasized that parallel. Chalamet referenced his ambition when accepting a SAG Award for a different role, declaring, "I'm in pursuit of greatness." The campaign generated significant online attention.
