\n\tAs Superman<\/a><\/em> sailed into theaters last weekend, a surprising new Cash App<\/a> advertisement starring Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet hit the big screen before Clark Kent. It sent his fans into a frenzy while outlets like Esquire<\/em> covered the mysterious collaboration, wondering why it\u2019s nowhere to be found aside from movie theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore has been revealed as the creative two-minute spot, titled \u201cHeirloom,\u201d debuted online today and Cash App confirmed the details of its first-ever partnership with the two-time Academy Award nominee<\/a>. It includes the clip, seen below, as well as out-of-home advertising in New York City and Los Angeles, limited-edition Cash App Card stamps designed with Chalamet and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the partnership with the financial platform, Chalamet recruited previous collaborators Aidan Zamiri and Elijah Bynum<\/a> to write and direct the spot. Chalamet worked with Zamiri \u2014\u00a0a photographer and director who has worked with everyone from Billie Eilish and Charli xcx to Drew Starkey and Linda Evangelista \u2014 on his Rolling Stone<\/em> cover to promote the Bob Dylan film, while he previously teamed with Bynum on the filmmaker\u2019s 2017 effort Hot Summer Nights<\/a><\/em>. (Bynum most recently directed Jonathan Majors in Magazine Dreams.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Cash App spot finds Chalamet as the lone customer doing some grocery shopping in a remote produce shop operated by a man and his son. While perusing the seemingly rare wares, he stops to take stock of what\u2019s there. \u201cSo these are rare vegetables,\u201d a black tank top-clad Chalamet asks the elder employee. \u201c\u2019Cuz I feel like I\u2019ve seen a lot of these before.\u201d The man assures him that he\u2019s not as the \u201cseeds were scattered by hand in volcanic soil and washed in spring water, dried in linen sheets.\u201d He then shows Chalamet a variation of mangelwurzel, a root vegetable, but the actor is distracted by the man\u2019s son who keeps staring at him. The actor is Izaac Wang, best known for starring in Sean Wang\u2019s Sundance breakout Didi<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe encounter then opens up a conversation about how the owner only accepts antiquated forms of payment like iron ingots, salts and cowrie shells. Wang argues with his father that outdated currencies no longer work and he suggests Cash App as an alternative. \u201cYour stuck in yesterday when today is already tomorrow,\u201d he says. \u201cIt could be a lot easier if we bank through Cash App instead of, you know, livestock or salts or whatever.\u201d Meanwhile, Chalamet is left holding the mangelwurzel.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFinancial literacy across all age groups is important and this spot seeks to emphasize that,\u201d Chalamet said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor their part, Cash App chief marketing officer Catherine Ferdon said that the company wanted to give Chalamet \u201ca platform to encourage open conversations around money\u201d across age groups that felt authentic to him as an artist. He has previously put his signature touches on collaborations with Chanel (in a spot directed by Martin Scorsese<\/a>) and fashion brands like Nahmias as well as the press tour for A Complete Unknown<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tAdded Ferdon, \u201cWe\u2019ve always empowered our partners to use their own voice and creative lens when sharing Cash App with their audiences, and we\u2019re thrilled to continue that momentum with one of the most prominent and influential actors of his generation.\u201d Cash App has previously partnered with Megan Thee Stallion, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, fashion designers like Luar and Collina Strada, and athletes like Serena Williams, Max Verstappen and Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n

\n\tCash App\u2019s \u201cHeirloom\u201d is currently in theaters across the U.S. playing ahead of the No. 1 film Superman<\/a><\/em>. It\u2019s also being loaded in to appear before The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a><\/em>. See the ad in full below.<\/p>\n
