Timothée Chalamet disclosed his aspiration for fellow actor Austin Butler to portray Elvis Presley in an upcoming Bob Dylan biopic.

While conversing with NME to promote Dune: Part Two, the Wonka star expressed his desire for Austin Butler‘s Elvis Presley to appear in his and James Mangold’s upcoming Bob Dylan film, A Complete Unknown.

Butler commented regarding the Dylan project.“I can’t wait for that film,” adding, “I wish I could be on set every day to just watch the magic happen.”

Chalamet replied, “I wish you were in it!”

He went on to say, “There’s an Elvis character in the Johnny Cash biopic [‘Walk the Line’]. It’s really brief, it’s very brief, but I was kind of wishing we could create a musical cinematic universe.”

Chalamet replied on asking about his conversation with Butler playing the character of music legend, “I’ve been picking Austin’s brain non-stop, but I feel — let’s let my film come out before I’m so lucky as to get included with Austin, he did such a phenomenal job.”

He shared, “But I do feel prideful about that too, because those are two artists that — I can’t speak from Elvis’ perspective, but deep in the Bob Dylan lore now, he had tremendous respect for Elvis and Sun Records.”
