Gwyneth Paltrow is set to star in the upcoming A24 film Marty Supreme, a role that sees Paltrow return to the world of movies for the first time in over a decade. This is not counting the MCU, however, which is something she does not count fully.
What did Gwyneth Paltrow say about her acting return?
Speaking to Vanity Fair in a recent interview, Paltrow opened up about what it was like to step back into a role in which the actress would be going all in for. According to Paltrow, the last time she feels like she did that was in 2010’s Country Strong, which to her is the last time she was “laying it all on the line and accessing a kind of vulnerability.”
Despite the comments, Paltrow has appeared in several movies since 2010, including many Marvel Studios projects, like the Iron Man franchise and various Avengers films. However, Paltrow noted that there was a difference in those projects versus something like the upcoming Marty Supreme.
“It’s different when you’re reprising an Avengers thing,” said Paltrow.

Marty Supreme is co-written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein. The cast also includes enn Jillette, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Abel Ferrera, and Sandra Bernard. Safdie, Bronstein, and Chalamet serve as producers alongside Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, and A24.
“The movie was rumored to be a biopic about iconoclastic ping-pong player Marty Reisman, and now we’re hearing it’s not exactly that,” reports from Deadline on the movie read. “More loosely based. The pic is being billed as a cross between Wolf of Wall Street and Catch Me If You Can.”
Safdie made his feature film directorial debut in 2008 with The Pleasure of Being Robbed. He went on to direct a handful of movies alongside his brother, Benny, including 2017’s Good Time and 2019’s Uncut Gems. They’ve since decided to embark on solo projects, as Benny is now working on The Smashing Machine with Dwayne Johnson.
