Stay or Go? The Truth About Marty Supreme’s Post-Credits Scene
No stinger, no wait. Early viewers say Marty Supreme skips post‑credits extras, so when the lights come up this holiday season, you can head for the exits without FOMO.
Quick heads up if you were planning to sit through the credits on Marty Supreme: you can go home. Early screenings and write-ups haven’t flagged a post-credits tag, and the movie’s been labeled a non-stinger by AfterCredits. The twist is, there almost was a tag — and it sounded ambitious.
The basics
- Title: Marty Supreme
- Director: Josh Safdie
- Screenwriters: Ronald Bronstein, Josh Safdie
- Cast highlights: Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma
- Genre: Sports comedy drama
- IMDb: 7.6/10
- U.S. release: December 25, 2025
The film is loosely inspired by table tennis icon Marty Reisman, with Chalamet playing Marty Mouser, a ping-pong prodigy chasing global fame. That last part matters for the near-miss epilogue.
The end-credits scene that didn’t make it
Josh Safdie says they planned an epilogue to play over the credits that would jump ahead in Marty’s life — essentially a final beat to underline where this fame-obsessed journey leaves him. Safdie even had Chalamet sit for heavy aging makeup. Six hours worth. Think the end of Oppenheimer. And then they cut it.
"It was a thing that would play over the credits, more like it would have been a way to tie up the theme a little more clearly of Marty's future and what would have happened to him. Honestly, we ran out of time or something. I did an enormous six-hour prosthetic aging thing, like you see at the end of 'Oppenheimer,' and we never used it. They built it and everything."
To clarify: that footage would have rolled during the credits, not replaced the actual ending. It got dropped for time and production reasons. Maybe it surfaces later as a deleted scene — it would be a shame to waste all that latex.
They also kicked around a different ending
Odessa A'zion said that during casting, Safdie showed her a stadium they were scouting for an alternate ending. At that stage, the movie was set to wrap in a totally different place. She read a draft with the original ending before the team changed it more than once and trimmed material for pacing. Her takeaway: the final cut lands at a better runtime. That tracks with what Safdie and Chalamet described about losing the aged-Marty epilogue when the crunch hit.
So, do you stay after the credits?
Nope. Reviews haven’t mentioned any tags, and AfterCredits classifies Marty Supreme as a non-stinger. When it hits theaters on December 25, 2025, you can bounce when the credits roll — unless they sneak that epilogue back in down the line. If the cut scene drops as a bonus later, I’ll be the first to point you to it.
