Marty Supreme's Hidden Role Sparks Long-Awaited Robert Pattinson and Timothée Chalamet Reunion After Six Years

Let me walk you through a weird little Rob Pattinson and Timothée Chalamet crossover that probably slipped past even the most eagle-eyed movie nerds. Josh Safdie, the same guy who helped turn Pattinson from 'that Twilight guy' into an indie darling with Good Time, just confirmed that Rob makes a (blink-and-you’ll-miss-it) appearance in Timmy’s new flick Marty Supreme.

But don’t get too excited—this isn’t a full-on, scenery-chewing reunion. In fact, Pattinson’s “cameo” in Marty Supreme barely counts as a cameo at all. Here's what actually went down.

Rob’s “Easter Egg” Role (And Why You Didn’t Notice)

Josh Safdie spilled the beans: Pattinson pops up at the very start of the movie, but only as a voice. During the British Open Semifinals scene, that English announcer you barely register? That’s him. Safdie, being Safdie, did it mostly on a whim. Apparently Rob just stopped by his place one day, hung out, and Safdie needed someone British to do the voiceover. Guess none of his regulars have the right accent, so Pattinson stepped in. In Josh’s words:

"No one knows this, but that voice—the commentator, the umpire— is Pattinson. It’s like a little easter egg. Nobody knows about that. … He came and watched some stuff and I was like, I don’t know any British people. So he’s the umpire."

So, unless you’ve got a superhuman ear for celebrity voices (or you read the credits line by line), you probably missed this one.

The Chalamet-Pattinson “Reunion” (Sort Of)

Technically, this is the first movie to feature both Chalamet and Pattinson since 2019’s The King, where they went toe-to-toe as English royalty and a very sassy French dauphin, respectively. (If you’ve never seen Pattinson’s "mocking baguette energy" in that film, you’re missing out.)

But for Marty Supreme, there’s no actual screen time together. It just means they’re back in the same project—kind of, in a “ships passing (off-mic)” sort of way.

Is A Real Throwdown Coming in Dune 3?

Now for the real reunion that’s got people buzzing: Dune: Part 3. Pattinson is confirmed for the cast—though, classic Hollywood, no one’s officially said who he’s playing. Most people who keep up with this stuff are betting he’s going to be Scytale, the shape-shifting, scheming Tleilaxu Face Dancer who’s gunning for Paul Atreides (Chalamet) with a whole lot of murdery ambition.

Given that Austin Butler did “evil space prince” last time around, it honestly makes sense for Pattinson to step up as the main antagonist for this big finale—a nice echo of his “smarmy French prince across the field from Timmy” energy from The King.

Pattinson, of course, claims filming Dune was a near brain-melting experience:

"When I was doing 'Dune' it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything. And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating, I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis: 'Whatever you want!'"

Fair enough, honestly.

For Numbers Nerds

• Marty Supreme: IMDb 8.2 | Rotten Tomatoes: 93% (Critics) / 82% (Audience)
• The King: IMDb 7.3 | Rotten Tomatoes: 71% (Critics) / 84% (Audience)

The Takeaway

If you want to see Rob Pattinson and Timothée Chalamet lock horns again (for real this time), keep your eyes peeled for Dune: Part 3 in 2026. Until then, Marty Supreme is out in theaters—though unless you love spotting low-key Easter eggs, you probably won’t spot Pattinson’s “performance.”

Here’s hoping their next pairing isn’t just a weird footnote in the credits.
