Marty Supreme director says film nearly ended with Chalamet bitten by 'Mr. Wonderful'

Gamesradar reports director Josh Safdie revealed that Marty Supreme almost finished with a shocking moment in which Timothée Chalamet’s character is bitten by a figure he described as "Mr. Wonderful."

Safdie said the film’s line "I was born in 1601" may not have been a joke and described building a prosthetic for Chalamet. "You’re on his eyes, we built the prosthetic for Timmy and everything, and Mr. Wonderful shows up behind him and takes a bite out of his neck, and that was the last thing in the movie," he told fellow filmmaker Sean Baker on the A24 Podcast (via The Playlist).

Those comments came during the A24 Podcast conversation relayed via The Playlist; Safdie’s description suggests an alternate ending was considered, but the source material does not say whether that sequence appears in the final film.
