Timothée Chalamet had a meteoric rise to stardom which began in 2014 with a role in Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar," however, it was in 2017 that his career really took off. In that year, Chalamet had memorable supporting roles in "Hostiles" and "Lady Bird" and took the lead in "Hot Summer Nights" and "Call Me by Your Name." Chalamet earned his first BAFTA and Oscar nominations for his work in "Call Me by Your Name," which confirmed his status as one of the film industry's top new leading men.
Since then, Chalamet has been racking up impressive credits in a number of different films. In the last couple of years, he had a role in the ensemble cast of "Don't Look Up," worked with Wes Anderson on "The French Dispatch," reunited with "Lady Bird" writer-director Greta Gerwig for "Little Women," and teamed up again with his "Call Me by Your Name" director Luca Guadagnino for the cannibal romance "Bones and All."
Chalamet, of course, played the lead in "Dune" and is returning for "Dune: Part Two." His character, Paul Atreides, is also the protagonist of the next book, "Dune Messiah," which could see Chalamet return if Denis Villeneuve decides to complete his "Dune" movie trilogy. However, 12 years pass between the first "Dune" book and when the story picks back up in "Dune Messiah," so recasting Chalamet with an older actor may be necessary depending on when the film goes into production.
