Fran Drescher To Play Timothee Chalamet’s Mom In ‘Marty Supreme’

Fran Drescher is back, and this time she’s trading in her iconic laugh for the ping pong table. That’s right, the 67-year-old star is about to serve up some serious mom energy alongside Timothée Chalamet in his new movie, Marty Supreme. Move over, Dune—the only sand we’ll see here is the dust coming off that 1950s ping pong table!

On Friday (October 4), the world stood still (well, maybe just Variety’s office) as it was confirmed that Fran would be stepping into the role of Timothée’s onscreen mom. You heard that right—our beloved Fran Fine is now Chalamom! Imagine the sass, the ping pong lessons, and the inevitable “Oh, sweetie, are you sure you can handle a backhand like that?”

Now, we don’t know much about the plot yet—Hollywood is keeping this one as hush-hush as a grandma’s secret lasagna recipe. But rumor has it, the film is a “fictional work set in the wild, gritty underworld of 1950s ping pong culture.” Yeah, you read that right. Think Mad Men, but with fewer cigarettes and way more intense ping pong matches. I mean, what better way to dramatize the tension of the Cold War than a slap-shot ping pong tournament?

Timothée’s character is apparently based on Marty Reisman, a legend of the sport known as the “Wizard of Table Tennis.” I’m betting he can spin a ping pong ball better than he can woo Chani in Dune. And just imagine the wardrobe: tiny shorts, sweatbands, and that inevitable slow-motion moment where Fran screams, “Use the force, Timmy!” as he lunges for the winning serve.

Now, if you’re wondering how serious this movie is, don’t worry. We have actual, photographic proof of Timothée on set this week. And let me tell you, he’s never looked more ready to serve. (Serve… get it?) We’re expecting lots of intense ping pong shots, a few dramatic slow-motion rallies, and maybe even a ping pong ball in the eye (classic slapstick, right?).

Oh, and that’s not all! Another big-name actress is making her Hollywood comeback for this ping pong masterpiece. It’s her first big role since 2019, so, clearly, Marty Supreme is where the real stars go to shine—or at least where they go when they need a good workout chasing a ping pong ball.

As if that wasn’t enough star power, the movie will also feature Tyler, the Creator (he’s already got that ping pong vibe, right?) and Odessa A’zion, so we’re expecting this film to bring the spin to the big screen, both literally and figuratively.

Stay tuned for more juicy details, because the second we get wind of a behind-the-scenes Fran vs. Timmy ping pong match, you better believe we’ll update you faster than a Chalamet forehand!
