Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie has already found his next project with A24. Safdie is teaming up with comedian-actor Ramy Youssef on a new feature film currently titled Martha.
According to World of Reel, Youssef will direct the project, with Safdie joining as a co-writer and producer. It is currently under wraps, but it is reportedly scheduled to begin production in New York in October 2026. Meanwhile, very little is known about the film, including its storyline and casting.
The project will be marked as Youssef’s first feature film for A24. He has already established himself as a director through his work on Ramy (2019-2022) and an episode of Bear (2023). His move to feature filmmaking was reportedly encouraged by the director Yorgos Lanthimos, who worked with him on Poor Things.
This collaboration marks an exciting new chapter for both Safdie and Youssef. Over time, Youssef has moved behind the camera, focusing on directing after creating and starring in Ramy. For Safdie, this project reunites him with A24, the studio behind Marty Supreme.
What else has Josh Safdie worked on besides Marty Supreme?
Josh Safdie is best known for his collaborations with his brother Benny Safdie. The Safdie brothers directed Heaven Knows What in 2014 before breaking through with Good Time (2017), starring Robert Pattinson. The crime thriller follows a small-time criminal who tries to get his brother out of police custody after a robbery gone wrong.
Their biggest critical breakthrough came with Uncut Gems in 2019. Starring Adam Sandler as Howard Ratner, the movie follows a jeweler and gambling addict whose decisions leave him struggling to escape his mounting debt. The crime thriller was the Safdie brothers’ last feature film together before they went their separate ways for their solo careers.
Safdie later focused on his solo career with Marty Supreme (2025) as his first solo feature. Starring Timothée Chalamet as table tennis player Marty Mauser, the film earned $191 million worldwide and became one of A24’s highest-grossing films. The film received nine Oscar nominations and eleven BAFTA nominations.
