Timothee Chalamet, Bad Bunny and Lionel Messi are among the high-profile names in a star-studded new Adidas commercial for the World Cup.

The sportswear giants have shared a teaser clip of their epic ad ahead of this summer’s tournament, which is led by Oscar-nominated actor Chalamet.

At the start of the clip, the Marty Supreme star says while seemingly on the phone to Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito: ‘What do I know about soccer? Nothing. I know about football, Benito. Football.’

It then cuts to Chalamet leaning over from the driver’s seat of a car and saying: ‘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.’

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 like they did in the prime of their careers.

At one stage, Chalamet is also 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.

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 then shown as young kids before it eventually flashed 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 all-important taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.
