Timothée Chalamet gave Johnny Depp's 1990 film "Edward Scissorhands" new life in a Super Bowl LV ad for Cadillac.

More than 30 years after the premiere of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/90s-couples-forgotten-celebrity-nostalgia" target="_blank">Johnny Depp</a>&#39;s Edward Scissorhands, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/timothee-chalamet-luca-guadagnino" target="_blank">Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet</a> has reincarnated the role in a 90-second&nbsp;Cadillac advertisement during the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-fashion-moments-superbowl-lv-the-weeknd-givenchy-amanda-gorman-moschino" target="_blank">Super Bowl LV</a>. In the commercial, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/young-winona-ryder-90s-style-fashion" target="_blank">Winona Ryder</a> reprises her role of&nbsp;Kim Boggs, the love interest of Depp&#39;s character, while Chalamet plays her son,&nbsp;Edgar,&nbsp;who, like&nbsp;his father, is plagued with sharp, untenable scissors for hands. Rocking the same messy &#39;do and ghostly appearance as the original character, Edgar&nbsp;also struggles to fit in with the modern world, shown when he is kept off the bus and fired from his job. However, life gets a little easier when his mom gifts him a new, self-driving Cadillac Lyriq.

&quot;Edward Scissorhands&nbsp;was a movie I adored growing up, and the opportunity to step into that world was a dream come true,&quot; Chalamet told <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/timothee-chalamet-edward-scissorhands-cadillac-super-bowl-ad" target="_blank">Vogue</a> about the ad.&nbsp;&quot;I also love the director David Shane&rsquo;s work in the commercial space, and he was really open to collaborating on this.&quot;

He continued, &quot;This was a wonderful opportunity to hopefully make the original material relatable to a modern audience without sacrificing the originality of the 1990 version. Instead, we wanted to create a character that didn&rsquo;t make you blink in terms of a present-day setting, but was a total homage to the character Johnny Depp created.&quot;

To adapt the character for a 2021 setting, Chalamet worked with costume designer&nbsp;Melissa DesRosiers on the finer details surrounding Edgar&#39;s wardrobe. &quot;We used beat-up iPhone charger cables for his shoelaces and more grungy-feeling flannels with scissor cuts throughout,&quot; said&nbsp;Chalamet. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/call-me-by-your-name-is-not-a-gay-movie" target="_blank">Call Me by Your Name</a> actor also fashioned Depp&#39;s original crescent moon belt buckle into his ensemble as &quot;a small callback to the past.&quot;
