‘The King’ First Hinted At Timotheé Chalamet’s Major Career Rebrand

Two years after his earlier roles, Timothée Chalamet starred as the lead in David Michôd’s ambitious historical drama, The King, which was based on Shakespeare’s history plays. Despite some historical liberties, the film was widely praised, with particularly strong performances receiving a lot of attention. Looking back seven years later, The King stands out as a turning point in Chalamet’s career – a move from smaller, independent films to larger, more popular blockbusters. With the trailer for Dune 3 recently released, it’s a good time to remember his impressive performance in The King!
