Actor Timothee Chalamet is ready to play Bob Dylan on the big screen and he will be doing his own singing. Director James Mangold teased his upcoming movie in a new interview with Collider during the Star Wars Celebration in London, reports Variety.

He was asked if the 'Bones and All' actor would sing and he answered: "Of course!"

The 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' director talked about the moment in time the film will take place, which he expects to start filming in August.

"It's such an amazing time in American culture and the story of Bob - a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with like two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years," Mangold told the publication.

"First being embraced into the family of folk music in New York and kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief."
