Timothée Chalamet, Bad Bunny, and Lionel Messi are among the high-profile names featured in a star-studded new Adidas commercial for the World Cup. The sportswear giant has shared a teaser clip of its epic advertisement ahead of this summer's tournament, which is led by Oscar-nominated actor Chalamet.
Teaser Clip Highlights
At the start of the clip, the Marty Supreme star is seen seemingly on the phone to Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito, and says: 'What do I know about soccer? Nothing. I know about football, Benito. Football.' The scene then cuts to Chalamet leaning over from the driver's seat of a car and adding: 'This local crew, they haven't lost since 1996.'
The teaser picks up pace from that moment onwards, with Bad Bunny and Messi first seen talking about the same mysterious soccer team. 'They play "win or go home,"' the Puerto Rican rapper tells Messi. 'And they've never gone home.' The Argentina World Cup winner then adds: 'These kids are invincible.'
Star-Studded Cast
A host of world-class soccer stars appear in the rest of the movie-style commercial, including Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain), Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Trinity Rodman (Washington Spirit), and Florian Wirtz (Liverpool). It also features all-time greats David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Alessandro Del Piero, who have been put through an AI-powered digital de-aging tool to make them look as they did in the prime of their careers.
At one stage, Chalamet is seen driving in a car with Bellingham, Rodman, and Yamal. 'This is bulls***!' Rodman yells at the acting icon while sat in the passenger seat.
Campaign Conclusion
The ad, which is set to be released this month, concludes by showing 'Three kids you've never heard of... yet.' The trio in question are shown as young children before the scene flashes forward to an older shot of them on a street-soccer court, asking: 'Who's next?'
This summer's World Cup is set to begin on June 11, with the final taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.
