Early in the short film below, a groom and bride—played by Timothée Chalamet and Larsen Thompson—sneak into a secret desert facility and hop behind the wheel of a Lucid Gravity EV.

LARSEN: What is this thing?

TIM (buckling up): I’m gonna find out.

It’s pretty clearly a car. Newlyweds, pfft!

That amusing moment leads to a hot pursuit. Spoiler: Tim looks as sharp in the end as he did at the start.

Here, Ford v Ferrari director James Mangold lenses a midnight mix of auto action, humor and mild paranoia.

“There was an orchestra to conduct. One unit shooting stunts. Another with Timothée and Larsen,” Ian Grody, CCO at Giant Spoon, which developed the spot, tells Muse. “These were night shoots, mind you, so we worked from sunset to sunrise.”

It never occurs to the couple to ask for help with their broken motorbike. They cut right to the hijack. Cool, that makes for a better commercial.

“This work was rehearsed,” Grody says. “And the teams (including veterans from Ford v Ferrari) were so prepared and dialed that a busted smoke machine was the worst we encountered. And we solved that in no time.”

The spot almost feels like a companion piece to Chalamet’s giant beet adventure for Cash App. Both cinematic rides boast mysterious overtones, a touch of the surreal and take place in the middle of nowhere. Though Tim actually pays for the produce. Key difference.

Hollywood’s rising star Timothée Chalamet has taken an unexpected turn, swapping red carpets for high-octane drama in a new campaign for luxury electric car brand Lucid Motors. In the latest ad, Chalamet plays a charming groom with a twist—he’s not just walking down the aisle; he’s stealing the spotlight… and a Lucid Air.

The campaign blends cinematic storytelling with sleek automotive design, highlighting the performance and elegance of Lucid’s electric vehicles. Chalamet’s character, dressed in a sharply tailored tuxedo, navigates a series of playful, suspense-filled scenes, ultimately showcasing the car’s impressive acceleration, cutting-edge technology, and luxurious interior.

Lucid Motors has been positioning itself as a premium competitor in the EV market, and the campaign leverages Chalamet’s star power to connect with younger, style-conscious consumers. The ad mixes humor, romance, and a touch of mischief—capturing both the aspirational lifestyle and the innovative spirit of the brand.

Commenting on the project, Chalamet said, “It’s not every day you get to play a groom who also has a knack for adventure. Working with Lucid was about exploring creativity and having fun with storytelling.”

The ad has already started trending on social media, with fans praising Chalamet’s charisma and the visually stunning shots of the Lucid Air in action. With its mix of style, technology, and star appeal, Lucid Motors’ latest campaign is proving that the future of luxury EVs can be as bold and captivating as Hollywood itself.
