<p>With the debut of “Dune Part Two,” which has already brought in over $369 million at the box office since its March 1 release, Chalamet’s star power was once again evident. His consecutive triumphs have established him as a Hollywood leading man, eliciting comparisons to legendary performers such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise.</p>
<p>Chalamet has been able to bargain for better salary because to the box office success of both “Wonka” and “Dune Part Two.” Rumor has it that he may be looking at double digits for major parts in studio movies. Denis Villeneuve, the director of “Dune: Part Three,” has shown interest in carrying on the series, which may increase Chalamet’s profits even more even if Warner Bros. has not yet confirmed a deal for the film.</p>
<p>Producers attribute Chalamet’s current cinematic success to his star power, even though he is appearing in films that already have a loyal fan following. Producer Mary Parent of ‘Dune’ praised Chalamet’s ability to fascinate viewers and called him a true cinematic star.</p>
<p>Chalamet’s career took off when he starred in the comedy-drama “Men, Women, and Children” in 2014. He then went on to get an Oscar nomination for his performances in “Call Me by Your Name” and “Interstellar.” While his versatility has been on display in movies such as “Lady Bird,” “Little Women,” and “Beautiful Boy,” his breakthrough performance as a starring actor in Hollywood came from his portrayal of Paul Atreides in “Dune.”</p>
