timothee chalamet next movie
Following the cultural phenomenon of Marty Supreme and its dramatic awards season, the question dominating film discourse is straightforward: what is Timothee Chalamet doing next? The answer involves one confirmed blockbuster, one film entering early development, and one of the most intriguing rumours in independent cinema.
confirmed: dune part three (december 18, 2026)
Chalamet's next confirmed theatrical release is Dune: Part Three, Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah. The film picks up seventeen years after the events of Part Two, with Paul Atreides now facing the consequences of his ascension. A teaser trailer released March 17 reveals Robert Pattinson as Scytale, the shape-shifting antagonist, alongside returning cast members Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson, and Javier Bardem. The film arrives December 18, 2026.
in development: high side
James Mangold, fresh off directing A Complete Unknown with Chalamet in 2024, is developing High Side, a feature based on a short story by Jaime Oliveira centred on the world of motocross. The project follows a former MotoGP racer named Billy. No official filming dates have been announced, and it remains unclear whether Chalamet's involvement is confirmed or merely in discussions. Mangold and Chalamet's working relationship from A Complete Unknown, which earned Chalamet his first Best Actor nomination in 2025, makes the collaboration plausible.
rumoured: neverenders
The most discussed unconfirmed project in Chalamet's orbit is Neverenders, a feature reportedly in development with A24. Directed by Amos Le Blanc, a two-time Cannes Young Director Award winner whose music videos have accumulated over 35 million views, the project would pair Chalamet with Marion Cotillard. Le Blanc's directorial style, defined by atmospheric tension, restrained performances, and a visual language that favours mood over exposition, aligns with A24's creative identity and with the kind of work Chalamet has repeatedly chosen over safer options.
A24 has not publicly confirmed Neverenders. The project's existence circulates through talent agencies and industry contacts. What makes it particularly compelling is the timing: after the Marty Supreme Oscar loss, multiple commentators have argued that Chalamet should pivot toward smaller, director-driven projects rather than campaigning for awards validation. A debut feature from an acclaimed short-form director, backed by the studio that just produced his highest-grossing film, fits that prescription precisely.
the strategic picture
Chalamet told The Hollywood Reporter in March 2026 that he plans to take a break before Dune: Part Three arrives. But "break" in Chalamet's case has historically meant early development conversations, script readings, and relationship-building with directors rather than actual inactivity. With Marty Supreme streaming on HBO Max from April 24, the film's cultural conversation is about to enter a second wave. How Chalamet leverages that renewed attention into his next project selection will define the next phase of his career.
