Timothée Chalamet Says Austin Butler's Elvis Would Be Great In His Bob Dylan Biopic

Chalamet mused about making a "musical cinematic universe" while being interviewed with his "Dune: Part Two" co-star.

Timothée Chalamet thinks his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic could benefit from a dash of Austin Butler as Elvis Presley.

Chalamet, who will play Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” floated the idea of an Elvis cameo after he and Butler were asked about their roles as rock icons in a new interview with NME.

Chalamet admitted he had been picking his “Dune 2” co-star’s “brain non-stop” as he prepped for the part of Dylan and told NME that Butler’s award-winning 2022 turn as Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” was “phenomenal.”

“Let’s let my film come out before I’m so lucky as to get included with Austin,” Chalamet said of the comparison. A release date hasn’t been set yet for “A Complete Unknown,” directed by James Mangold.

Talking about the connection between the artists, the “Wonka” star said, “I can’t speak from Elvis’ perspective, but deep in the Bob Dylan lore now, he had tremendous respect for Elvis and Sun Records.”
