Marty Supreme star Kevin O'Leary argues that the A24 movie could have saved millions of dollars if they used "AI agents" instead of casting extras. O'Leary, who is best known for appearing in the reality series Shark Tank , plays the husband of Gwyneth Paltrow's character in the upcoming film.
With the movie largely revolving around table tennis (ping-pong) matches that Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) competes in, there are numerous scenes that involve large crowds of spectators who were played by extras.
On The Hill 's World of Travel Podcast , O'Leary suggests that Marty Supreme would have saved a considerable amount of money by using "AI agents" instead of the "almost 150 extras" in these scenes. He posits that this would allow more movies to be made at a lower cost.
