Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for its upcoming Wonka movie starring Timothee Chalamet, and it’s magical. This is a prequel that explains how Willie Wonka becomes the beloved chocolatier, and he will have to overcome a number of obstacles.
Wonka is facing off against a chocolate cartel of sorts who threaten to kick him out of town for selling chocolate in general, and also making chocolate affordable. One of the villains mentions how they cannot fathom the idea of “poor” people enjoying chocolate. The movie is directed by Paddington’s Paul King and is produced by Harry Potter veteran David Heyman.
In addition to Chalamet in the starring role, the movie features Keegan-Michael Key, Rowan Atkinson, Matt Lucas, Olivia Colman, and Jim Carter. Hugh Grant plays an Oompa Loompa.
