Robert Pattinson’s Hidden Cameo Brings Chalamet Reunion in Marty Supreme

Josh Safdie has let slip that Robert Pattinson made a fleeting appearance in Timothée Chalamet’s latest film, Marty Supreme, though not in the way most would expect. This revelation follows Pattinson’s recent comments about wanting to work with the Safdie brothers again, after their previous collaboration on Good Time, which played a significant part in shifting perceptions of his career.

While the two actors don’t actually share the screen in this new project, Marty Supreme still marks a kind of reunion for Pattinson and Chalamet, who last worked together on The King back in 2019. In that historical drama, Pattinson took on the role of the French Dauphin, facing off against Chalamet’s King Henry V—a pairing that left a lasting impression on audiences.

Spotting Pattinson’s Discreet Role

Safdie described Pattinson’s involvement in Marty Supreme as something of a hidden treat for eagle-eyed (or rather, eagle-eared) viewers. Rather than appearing in person, Pattinson provided the voice of the English announcer during the British Open Semifinals, which takes place in the film’s opening moments. It’s a detail that could easily slip by unnoticed, unless you’re in the know.

Reflecting on how this came about, Safdie recalled that Pattinson happened to visit him during production, which led to the impromptu casting. As Safdie put it,

No one knows this, but that voice — the commentator, the umpire — is Pattinson. It’s like a little easter egg. Nobody knows about that. … He came and watched some stuff and I was like, I don’t know any British people. So he’s the umpire.

Chalamet, meanwhile, continues his run of festive releases, with Marty Supreme adding to his growing list of Christmas hits. The anticipation is already building for his next big project, Dune 3, which is set to bring him and Pattinson together on screen once more.

Anticipation Builds for Dune 3

Although Pattinson’s contribution to Marty Supreme was limited to a voiceover, the pair’s next collaboration promises a more direct encounter. Dune: Part 3, one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2026, has only fuelled excitement with the news of Pattinson’s casting.

While details of his role remain under wraps, speculation is rife that he’ll be portraying Scytale, the Tleilaxu Face Dancer with designs on Paul Atreides’ throne. Pattinson himself has spoken about the challenges of filming in the desert, remarking,

When I was doing ‘Dune’ it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything. And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating, I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis [Villeneuve]: “Whatever you want!”

Given that Austin Butler took on the main antagonist’s role in the previous instalment, it’s not hard to see why Pattinson would be chosen to play Chalamet’s chief adversary this time around—a dynamic reminiscent of their earlier clash in The King. Whatever unfolds, it’s shaping up to be another memorable entry in both actors’ filmographies.

Looking Back and Ahead

For those keeping score, Marty Supreme currently boasts an impressive 8.2 on IMDb and a 93% Tomatometer rating, while The King holds a solid 7.3 and 71% respectively. The prospect of seeing Pattinson and Chalamet share the screen again, especially in such a high-profile project, has certainly set tongues wagging among fans.

With Marty Supreme now showing in cinemas across the US, and Dune 3 on the horizon, the stage is set for another chapter in this quietly compelling partnership. Are you looking forward to their next on-screen encounter?
