TIMOTHEE Chalamet has dropped big career news as a major film company has called dibs on the actor.
The 28-year-old has been enjoying his stardom recently, with Dune 2 and Wonka reaching box-office success, and is now celebrating his latest industry move.
Timothee recently announced that he signed a multi-year first-look film deal.
Warner Brothers finalizes the deal with the star.
The arrangement gives Timothee the right of first refusal for collaborators’ projects, meaning he can call dibs on whichever projects are offered through Warner Brothers producers.
Timothee’s new deal came after Dune grossed over $575 million worldwide, and Wonka earned $632 million.

Timothee is the first actor in over four decades to have the top two domestic-grossing films in 8 months, Warner Brothers said in their statement.
The star surpassed John Travolta, who previously won the award for his roles in Saturday Night Fever and Grease.
“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 giving 100% of his time and attention to every project he has made here at Warner Bros. and elsewhere,” Warner Brothers said in a statement.
“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.”
“Working with Mike De Luca, Pam Abdy and their team on Wonka and Dune over these last few years has been a deeply rewarding experience,” Timothee added.
“These are studio heads who believe in real film 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!”
While Timothee’s professional life has been busy, it appears he has been making time for his personal relationships.
The star went public with his relationship with Kylie Jenner in April.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE?
Rumors have been swirling that the pair had split up, but the couple seemed to have disproven that after being spotted in public together.
A fan snapped a photo of the couple in a Los Angeles ice cream parlor.
This partnership feels like a natural next step. Let’s go!

The pair were shielding their faces with masks and hoods.
The woman, apparently Kylie, wore a gray sweatshirt, leather jacket, and a brown bag over her shoulders.
DON’T LOOK
Her date wore a similar outfit but completely covered her face with a black mask.
The fan said Kylie’s bag looked similar to another she had shown on social media previously.
Kylie and Timothée’s supposed outing happened hours before the reality star was seen at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
Timothée didn’t accompany his girlfriend to the event; instead, she went with her sisters, Kendall Jenner, 27, and Kim Kardashian, 43.
