Timothée Chalamet is dreaming big.
The 29-year-old actor has appeared on top of the Sphere in Las Vegas to promote his new film, “Marty Supreme,” ahead of its release later this week.
“‘Marty Supreme’ is an American film that comes out on Christmas Day 2025,” the “Dune” star shouted as the camera pulled back to reveal him standing atop the iconic Sin City entertainment venue, per a clip shared to his Instagram account on Monday.
The Sphere’s massive LED exterior, meanwhile, transformed into a giant orange ping-pong ball.
Chalamet’s appearance at the venue marked the first time anyone has ever stood on top of the Las Vegas Sphere since it opened in 2023, per Entertainment Weekly.
It was said to be part of a coordinated marketing effort involving the film’s distributor, A24, along with Sphere Studios and Cash App.
As part of the collaboration, Cash App introduced a limited-edition “Marty Supreme” Cash App Card featuring five custom stamps inspired by the film — including ping-pong paddles and balls, a blimp and the movie’s logo.
Imagery from the campaign was also displayed on the Sphere during the surprising event.
But the “Complete Unknown” star’s Sphere stunt wouldn’t be his first unconventional promo tied to the film’s highly anticipated rollout.
Earlier this month, Chalamet appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” accompanied by several performers dressed in black bodysuits wearing oversized orange ping-pong ball masks.
“I think [this is] one of the best marketing campaigns of any film I’ve ever seen,” Fallon, 51, noted during Chalamet’s Dec. 17 visit. “You’ve done a fantastic job with this movie.”
“Ultimately, this is an original film,” the “Wonka” star responded. “It’s an independent A24 film. I know people rag on the budget size. But this is the easiest sell for me to come here. I’m trying to talk straight into America right here.”
Chalamet went on to describe “Marty Supreme” as “a movie about sacrifice in pursuit of a dream.”
“It’s something I can relate to deeply,” he explained. “And we live in a bleak time, especially for young people, so this film is an attempted antidote to that. And to continue to believe in yourself and to continue to dream big and to follow your dreams and not take no for an answer.”
Directed and co-written by Josh Safdie, the upcoming film follows Marty Mauser (Chalamet) on his journey to becoming a world-class table tennis champion.
Set in the 1950s, the cast of “Marty Supreme” is rounded out by Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Fran Drescher, and Tyler, the Creator.
The “French Dispatch” star reportedly called his role as Marty Mauser “probably my best performance” and “some top-level s–t” during a since-deleted interview ahead of the movie’s release.
“It’s important to say it out loud because the discipline and the work ethic I’m bringing to these things, I don’t want people to take for granted,” Chalamet added. “I don’t want to take for granted.”
The “Little Women” star went on to defend his surprising press tour behavior after his remarks created backlash from fans.
“This is in the spirit of Marty, and I feel like this is ultimately an original film at a time when original movies aren’t really put out,” Chalamet explained to IndieWire. “It’s a movie about the pursuit of a dream. I’m leaving it on the field.”
“Whether it’s the merch or the Zoom or the media appearances, I’m trying to get this out in the biggest way possible,” he concluded. “In the spirit of Marty Mauser.”
