Timothée Chalamet Wants Austin Butler’s Elvis to Be in His Bob Dylan Biopic: “I Was Kind of Wishing We Could Create a Musical Cinematic Universe”

Timothée Chalamet has said that he would love Austin Butler’s version of Elvis Presley to show up in his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic.

The two actors, who co-star in Dune: Part Two, which is in cinemas now, were speaking to NME about their respective roles as the American music icons, and speculated about the possibility of there being a shared universe between the two films. Speaking about his preparation for A Complete Unknown, in which the Wonka star will play Dylan, Chalamet said he had been “picking” Butler’s brain non-stop for tips on how to portray such a legendary music figure. In a four-star review of the film, NME wrote: “Despite the film’s potentially punishing 166 minute running time, Villeneuve ensures that it never drags, striking a note-perfect balance between compelling character interaction and blisteringly inventive fight scenes.”
