Kylie Jenner reportedly had a key role planned for Timothée Chalamet‘s upcoming global “Dune” press tour. The Kylie Cosmetics founder was expected to accompany her boyfriend while he promoted “Dune: Part Three.”
A source said she “understands her role” during major publicity events. The insider also claimed Jenner had impressed studio executives with her red-carpet approach. Her presence could become especially visible as the film faces a major December box-office rival.
Kylie Jenner to reportedly join Timothee Chalamet for ‘Dune: Part Three’ press tour
According to an report, Chalamet was preparing for a promotion. The source called “Dune: Part Three” his “one last step” in a seven-year franchise journey. He reportedly wanted the third movie to become “the most successful of the bunch.”
However, the insider also cited “headwinds to consider.” The biggest was its December opening opposite Marvel’s “Avengers: Doomsday.” Chalamet was reportedly “thrilled with the finished film” before that competitive release.
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner was expected to become part of that publicity strategy. The insider said Chalamet was “bringing Kylie along” for his “biggest global publicity tour” yet. According to the source, she “understands her role in these situations.”
The “Kardashians” star had also reportedly “impressed the studio” during earlier appearances. The source credited her ability to “play ball and smile for the cameras.” That would place Jenner beside Timothée Chalamet during a major stretch of “Dune” promotion.
Still, the source predicted another high-profile couple would share the spotlight. Zendaya and Tom Holland were described as “major competition” on upcoming red carpets. The pair followed releases including “The Odyssey” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
However, the insider said both couples had “managed to play nice” over recent years. The source also described Holland as Chalamet’s “direct, if friendly, competitor.” They suggested that professional rivalry could continue for “the next thirty years.”
