Timothée Chalamet Locks in Multi-Year First Look Deal Alongside Warner Bros

Warner Bros Motion Picture Group has locked in a multi-year first look feature film deal with Timothée Chalamet.

As of late, the star has landed roles in Dune and Wonka, which landed $1.6 billion to the studio at large.

Chalamet has become the first actor in over four decades to star in the top two domestic-grossing films released in an 8-month period.

The latest deal is one of quite a few hammered out by Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-Chairs and CEOs, Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, as they set their future slate at the studio.

Since being announced for the top studio job at Warner Bros back in June 2022, the duo have made deals with Tom Cruise, Jon M. Chu, and T Street’s Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman.

Said De Luca and Abdy, “Over the last few years, we have admired not only Timothée’s commitment to his craft, which is evident in the range and depth of his varied roles, but also his unwavering dedication to give 100% of his time and attention to every project he has made here at Warner Bros. and elsewhere. His collaboration on the campaigns for Dune and Wonka is something we all enjoyed immensely, and the results speak for themselves. We continue to build for the future of the theatrical film business at Warner Bros. Discovery and are thrilled Timothée has chosen our studio to be his creative home.”

Chalamet stated, “Working with Mike De Luca, Pam Abdy and their teams on Wonka and Dune over these last few years has been a deeply rewarding experience. These are studio heads who believe in real movie making, and I’m so grateful for their support as an actor, producer and collaborator. This partnership feels like a natural next step. Let’s go!”.

Chalamet’s latest title Dune: Part Two alongside Legendary/Warner Bros continues to hold steady at the box office with nearly $575.5M worldwide as of late.
