Timothée Chalamet is entering his biopic era! After two back-to-back blockbuster hits, the actor will play Bob Dylan in the upcoming film A Complete Unknown, which is based on the king of folk.

So far, many details of the film, such as its release date, have been kept under wraps. However, James Mangold, the director of the film, has given some insights about the upcoming biopic.

“It’s such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene,” he told Collider in April 2023. “It’s such an amazing time in American culture, and the story of Bob’s — a 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years.”

Timothée isn’t the only big nаme involved in the film. Elle Fanning is set to play Bob’s love interest, Sylvie Russo. Monica Barbaro will play music legend Joan Baez, and The Last of Us actor Nick Offerman will play music historian Alan Lomax.

Timothée has been preparing for the role by listening to the singer’s unreleased music. No, seriously, the Wonka actor admitted that Bob’s manager had given him access to the never-heard-before musical records.

“This might earn the ire and wrath of many Bob fans, rightfully, but he sent me a 12-hour playlist of unreleased Bob stuff from 1959 to ’64. I feel like I’m holding onto gold or something,” he shared on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast.

Not only that, Timothée will also be singing using his real voice in the upcoming biopic.

While the film details have stayed pretty quiet, we have a look at the wardrobe! In March 2024, the Dune star was spotted on set channeling the music legend.

In the images, Timothée is very much wearing 60s attire. The laid-back retro look features denim jeans, a green jacket, an orange scarf, and a paperboy hat. The lead actor is also seen carrying a guitar case.
