Director Marty Supreme reveals Robert Pattinson’s hidden role

Although no one knew it, Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie reunited with his own Good Time star Robert Pattinson in his latest film via a hidden cameo.

Speaking at London’s BFI Southbank (via Variety ), Safdie revealed Secret Batman Actor Cameo in A film about ping-pong directed by Timothée Chalamet.

“Nobody knows this, but that voice — the commentator, the judge — is Pattinson,” Safdie revealed. “It’s like a little Easter egg. Nobody knows about it. … He came and looked at some stuff and I thought, I don’t know any Brits. So he’s a judge.”

Although unconventional, it was a clever way to cast the role. So after rewatching Marty Supreme, fans will have to listen to Pattinson’s voice. His voice is used during the British Open semi-finals in the first act of the film. As Variety notes, that’s when Chalamet’s Marty Mauser faces Bela Kletsky (Geza Rohrig).

Robert Pattinson’s relationship with Josh Safdie dates back long before Marty Supreme

In 2017, Pattinson starred in Good Time, co-directed by Josh Safdie and his brother Benny. Pattinson was still trying to establish himself after Twilight, and his role in Good Time did wonders for his career.

He plays a criminal in the film who tries to free his disabled brother (played by Benny Safdie) from police custody. At the same time, he must avoid being arrested.

This was the Safdie Brothers’ first film under A24 distribution. They continued their relationship with the studio, even after their professional split.

They directed one more film together, Uncut Gems, before going their separate ways. Both Safdie brothers released a film in 2025. First, Benny released The Smashing Machine, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. A few months later, Safdie released the Marty Supreme on Christmas Day.

After Good Time, Pattinson went on to work on other high-profile projects such as The Lighthouse (also for A24), Tenet, The Devil All the Time and Mickey 17.

He will soon reunite with Tenet director Christopher Nolan in The Odyssey, playing Antinous. He will also star in Dune: Part Three alongside Marty Supreme star Chalamet.
