Leonardo DiCaprio told Timothee Chalamet one of his golden rules, 'no superhero movies'.

[Burned Verses]

I can see the reasoning tbh

The Chalamet Effect: Timothée Talks Fate, Fashion And Being An Old Soul

As he gets set to become the actor of his generation, Giles Hattersley goes in search of the real boy wonder.

A baton was placed in his hand, passed down the decades by dint of James Dean and River Phoenix, David Cassidy and Leonardo DiCaprio: Chalamet became boyfriend to an entire generation. In fact, it was DiCaprio (in a moment of near-literal baton passing when they first met in 2018) who bequeathed Timmy his career rule: “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.” So far, so good. Give or take. Oh, to be 26 and Hollywood’s most wanted.



And wow do they want him. “I…” he says, laughing, unsure what to do with that information.

For them it’s not real “art”
Some consider it clown shows

I wonder what Armie Hammer told him. lol

But at the end of the day this is the industry
People want to see the thing fighting the hulk
Not the movie about a bipolar tax accountant who does taxes for billionaires and has a financial bomb ticking because of his eccentric habits

In Leo's case, has he ever been in an action pop corn flick that demanded him to gain 30 lbs of muscle? I think he's more than self aware enough to know that's not his lane and that's probably why he said that. Don't get into something you're not. Heath Ledger transformed his role, so it isnt like its a sin against art.

It depends on what you value as an actor. Superhero films can get in the way of getting other roles since you have to be committed to the franchise. However, if you're an up and coming actor it can open more doors for you for other roles since you'll be a bigger name. A perfect example might be Ryan Reynolds because without deadpool he would most likely be out of the film industry since he was box office poison, but now he's typecasted into deadpool like roles.

Leo the GOAT is just out here giving some advice to an upcoming actor. I see nothing wrong with that whatsoever. It's up to Timothee Chalamet on whether or not to heed that advice.
