No One in Hollywood Can Match Timothée Chalamet at This One Filmmaking Skill

Timothee Chalamet is not quietly rolling out Marty Supreme. He is turning the promo tour into a full-contact sport, and honestly, it is kind of riveting to watch.

CCXP Brazil: Timmy vs. Subtlety

At CCXP in Brazil, Chalamet basically treated the stage like his own late-night show. A clip from the Dec. 6, 2025 convention has him doing the most, and then some. This was not a normal panel, it was a spectacle, and he knew exactly what he was doing.

• Danced to Soulja Boy's 'Crank That' like it was 2007 again
• Spoke Portuguese and told the crowd he's moving to Brazil
• Threw his jackets into the audience
• Paraded around with a Brazilian flag that had his face printed on it
• Grabbed a bear prop off the stage decoration because why not
• Tossed autographed tennis balls into the crowd like a marketing T-shirt cannon

It played like a chaotic, very entertaining victory lap for a movie that is not even out yet. Loud? Yes. Effective? Also yes.

The 'Zoom meeting' that was actually the bit

Chalamet also posted an 18-minute Zoom call to Instagram with A24 staffers where they 'brainstorm' the campaign for Marty Supreme. It is clearly a comedy sketch about corporate-speak and stunt marketing, and it doubles as real marketing because of course it does.

'We can't let this movie down. Like, we have to be intentional, reckless, aggressive. I'm thinking big. You know what I mean? This has got to be like one of the most important things that happens on planet Earth this year. Marty Supreme Christmas day.'

The big idea: flood the world with orange as a cheeky nod to how Barbie painted everything pink last year. He even pitches putting his face on cereal boxes and jokes about turning the Statue of Liberty orange. He spells out the vibe in the call:

'How do we not just cop the vibe of Barbie? Hardcore orange. Corroded orange. Falling apart orange. Rusted orange.'

One commenter nailed the meta of it all:

'There was a marketing meeting about this fake marketing meeting as a marketing strategy and it probably went something like this.'

Merch, a blimp, and famous friends

Beyond the sketch, the physical stunts are very real. There is a bright orange Marty Supreme blimp floating over Los Angeles. And there are custom track jackets made with designer Doni Nahmias, A24, and Chalamet's stylist Taylor McNeill. Tom Brady and Kid Cudi have been spotted wearing the gear, which is quite the flex for a ping-pong movie.

'He's super smart, strategic, and calculated. And I think it works really well,' designer Doni Nahmias told Elle about Chalamet steering the campaign.

Will it translate to box office?

Early tracking from Box Office Pro has Marty Supreme opening between $7 million and $12 million domestically. That is nowhere near Wonka's $39.5 million opening weekend, but for a 1950s table-tennis dramedy, those are respectable early numbers that could grow if the antics keep landing.

Quick refresher on the movie: Josh Safdie directs; the film is loosely inspired by American table tennis icon Marty Reisman; Chalamet plays the title role in a New York City story set in the 1950s. Marty Supreme opens December 25.

If the goal was to make this thing un-ignorable, mission accomplished. Are the stunts enough to get you into a theater on Christmas? I am genuinely curious.
