In the new A24 movie Marty Supreme, aspiring ping-pong legend Marty Mauser famously declares, “It’s only a matter of time before I’m staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.” As it turns out, now is the time.
After the film’s internet-breaking Zoom moment, when lead actor Timothée Chalamet jokingly pitched the idea to the marketing team himself, Wheaties is making the wish a reality. Fans can score a limited-edition Marty Supreme Wheaties box beginning December 8 at 1 p.m. ET, sold exclusively on Shop.Wheaties.com and A24.com while supplies last.
Created in collaboration with A24, the special-edition box features Chalamet as Marty Mauser and celebrates the film’s surreal, ping-pong-powered rise. It takes Marty’s punchline and turns it into an officially sanctioned Breakfast of Champions milestone.
“Marty Supreme called his shot when he said it was only a matter of time before he’d be on a Wheaties box, and we answered,” said Emilie Knox, VP, Business Unit Director, Cereal at General Mills. “For more than 100 years, Wheaties has celebrated iconic athletes and moments in culture that transcend boundaries, from sports to unexpected heroes, just like Marty.”
The drop leans into the film’s chaotic, joyful spirit the way only Wheaties can — bold, unexpected, and unmistakably orange. Fans are encouraged to grab a box before they disappear faster than Marty’s backhand.
Marty Supreme opens in theaters nationwide on December 25.
