The James Mangold-directed film, named after a lyric from Bob's 1965 hit Like A Rolling Stone, documents the early career of the legendary folk singer.

The new clip showed Timothée speaking as Bob and performing his hit song, A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall.

After seeing the teaser, fans immediately noted how much he sounded like the Blowin' In The Wind hitmaker.

"Holy s**t he sounds just like him," one person wrote on the clip.

"Absolutely nailed the voice," said a second, while a third wrote, "SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIM."

"The actor, the voice, PERFECT," another said.

Others believed the Dune actor could be on his way to winning an Academy Award for his portrayal of Bob in the new film.

Timothée last received a Best Actor nomination at the 2018 Oscars for his role as Elio Perlman in Call Me By Your Name.

"Academy award coming soon," someone wrote.

"Time for a academy award, timmy," another added.
