Timothée Chalamet Scores Huge Payday for Upcoming Heist Movie

Timothée Chalamet is set to star in James Mangold’s upcoming heist movie High Side, and thanks to a new report, we now know the massive payday Chalamet is taking home for it.

How much is Timothée Chalamet being paid for his upcoming High Side heist movie role?

According to a new report from The New York Times, Chalamet is set to take home $25 million for his role in the action heist film. The figure is not only staggering in number, but also historical, as with the salary, Chalamet will become the youngest actor since Jennifer Lawrence to garner a salary that large for a single film.

High Side will see Chalamet and Mangold reunite after their work on the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which earned massive praise and was nominated for eight different Academy Awards. The film will follow the story of a former MotoGP racer who is enlisted to use his skills to help on a series of bank robberies.

Chalamet is also set to star in Josh Safdie’s upcoming movie Marty Supreme, which releases on December 25, 2025, from A24.

“In High Side, Billy is a former MotoGP racer, haunted by a career-ending crash and a family legacy of abandonment, is drawn back into the world of high-speed risks and extreme danger. His estranged brother, already being pursued by the FBI, recruits him for a series of bank robberies on superbikes. A gifted motocross rider, Billy walked away from the sport after a devastating accident, and he has been making do caring for his addict father and the family garage,” reads the synopsis.

“He’s blindsided when his estranged older brother Cole resurfaces — just after their father’s death — with a proposition: use Billy’s talents for something bigger. Robbing banks. Cole assembles a mismatched crew, including a woman who becomes Billy’s lover, and they begin knocking over small-town desert banks with speed and precision. But as the stakes rise, Lennox, an FBI agent with a complicated history with Cole, closes in as the crew preps its biggest score, a bank job timed with a big motorcycle parade. There are high-speed action and emotional twists and turns in the climax.”
