Timothée Chalamet wouldn’t rule out starring in a superhero movie if the circumstances were right.
Timothée Chalamet won’t rule out superhero movies, despite Leonardo DiCaprio’s advice.
In an interview with The New York Times, Chalamet recalled DiCaprio’s advice. However, he did not rule out the possibility of a superhero movie if the script was right.
“Well, Leonardo DiCaprio said to me, ‘No superhero movies, no hard drugs,’ and I thought that was a really good thing,” he said.
We then asked Dune director Denis Villeneuve what advice he follows. “I follow both of them!” Chalamet revealed. “But the movie that made me want to act was the superhero movie ‘The Dark Knight.’ If the script is great, if the director is great, you have to consider it.”
The superhero movie genre is currently in flux. 2023 was a year filled with box office disappointments such as Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Flash, and Marvel’s. And his only major MCU or DCU work to hit the big screen this year is Deadpool and Wolverine. Maybe that trend is gradually coming to an end.

Despite being the biggest star in the world, Chalamet has found a way to resist the superhero movie genre. He first rose to fame with his 2012 appearance in HOMELAND. Just a few years later, he found success on the big screen starring in Interstellar.
She later appeared in “Call Me By Your Name,” “Lady Bird,” “Beautiful Boy,” “The French Dispatch,” and “Don’t Look Up.” Her other credits with Chalamet include Bones and All and Wonka.
In 2021, Chalamet appeared in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune as Paul Atreides. The sequel, Dune Part 2, is set to be released on March 1st, and he will co-star with returning cast members Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, and Josh Brolin. Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Léa Seydoux also star in the film.
