As usual, companies spared no expense when it came to celebrity casting for this year’s Super Bowl, from Mike Myers and Dana Carvey returning for Wayne’s World to Patrick Stewart dancing to Spongebob’s “Sweet Victory” to Will Ferrell picking a fight with Norway.The latest big game spot, released online pre-event, takes a page from the Bruce Willis Die Hard Battery commercial from a few months ago in that it actually acts as a mini-sequel to a popular film. In this case, it’s Timotheé Chalamet starring in a follow-up to Tim Burton’s 1990 classic, Edward Scissorhands.
Chalamet, acting alongside original Edward Scissorhands star Winona Ryder, who reprises her role as Kim, plays Edward’s son Edgar for a Cadillac spot advertising the car manufacturer’s new All-Electric Cadillac LYRIQ.
Take a look…Along with Timotheé Chalamet starring in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming Dune adaptation, it’s being said that Warner Bros. is possibly eyeing Chalamet for the role of a young Willy Wonka for a prequel movie currently in development.
