Leonardo DiCaprio famously told Timothee Chalamet to avoid doing superhero movies, but that doesn't mean the young star isn't interested in other cinematic universes - a music one, to be specific.
Two years ago it was announced that Chalamet was pressing ahead with a Bob Dylan biopic titled A Complete Unknown.
The movie will focus on 19-year-old Dylan before he hit the heights of his fame.
Chalamet previously revealed that he and director James Mangold hired the same crew that helped prep Austin Butler for his role as Elvis Pressley.

“I can’t wait for that film. I wish I could be on set every day to just watch the magic happen.”
