Director Josh Safdie has disclosed a significant behind-the-scenes surprise in his latest A24 drama: Robert Pattinson provides an uncredited voice cameo in Marty Supreme. During a recent talk at London’s BFI Southbank, Safdie confirmed that Pattinson voiced a British umpire and commentator during the film’s opening tournament sequences, marking an unexpected reunion with his collaborator from the critically acclaimed 2017 film Good Time.
In the film, Timothée Chalamet’s character Marty Supreme faces off against Hungarian champion Bela Kletzki during the British Open semifinals, with Pattinson’s voice providing commentary throughout the sequence. Safdie explained that the casting decision arose organically, humorously noting that he does not know many British people and therefore reached out to Pattinson to lend his voice to the booth. The director characterized the role as “a little easter egg” that few viewers would likely discover without explicit disclosure. Pattinson’s participation remains entirely off-camera, making the cameo a true hidden gem for attentive audiences.
This revelation gained additional intrigue when Pattinson appeared evasive during a Vanity Fair lie detector test, where he seemed to conceal his secret involvement with Safdie. The viral moment subsequently took on new meaning once the director publicly acknowledged the collaboration. The hidden reunion serves as a creative prelude to an anticipated on-screen confrontation between Pattinson and Chalamet in Dune: Part Three, scheduled for release in December 2026. The cameo underscores the enduring creative rapport between Safdie and both of his high-profile collaborators, setting the stage for their forthcoming cinematic clash.
