Timothée
Chalamet is taking some tips from Tom Cruise, it seems. Campaigning for his third Oscar nomination for Marty Supreme, the actor climbed to the top of the Sphere in Las Vegas, which was turned into a ping-pong ball to promote his film Marty Supreme. He became the first person to climb atop the Sphere. The new stunt is the latest in unique stunts by the young actor that are popping up on social media. The sports drama, directed by Josh Safdie, is releasing in theatres on Christmas, December 25. The Sphere also proudly displayed the tagline of the upcoming film that states, "Dream big!"

The official X account of Marty Supreme posted the video of the actor standing atop the Sphere. The entertainment arena and theatre was turned into a large ping-pong ball in honour of the upcoming sports film, Marty Supreme. Wearing a brown jacket and pants, Chalamet shouts out from the top of the globe, "Marty Supreme is an American film that comes out on Christmas Day 2025." Later, as the camera shows the Sphere against the Las Vegas skyline, the actor also adds, "Dream big!"
A24, which is promoting the film, has gone all out for the Josh Safdie film. It is said to be an early Oscar frontrunner, and Chalamet is likely to land yet another nomination for his lead performance. The marketing for the film so far has included table tennis tournaments, pop-up shops selling the hot item aka the Marty Supreme jacket, and even a music video by the actor. From 2023, Chalamet's films
Wonka, Dune: Part Two, and
A Complete Unknown have performed impressively at the box office.
