Trailer: “Wonka” (2023)

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the second trailer for “Wonka,” the upcoming musical feature that serves as a prequel to the classic Roald Dahl story and, more specifically, the 1971 Gene Wilder-led film adaptation of it.

Timothee Chalamet stars as a young Willy Wonka around 25 years before the events of the “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” novel and well before he became the famed chocolate factory owner.

Calah Lane, Olivia Colman, Rowan Atkinson, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Paterson Joseph, Natasha Rothwell, Jim Carter and Sally Hawkins also star, whilst Hugh Grant plays an Oompa Loompa.

“Paddington” director Paul King directed the project and co-wrote the script with Simon Farnaby with the movie serving as something of a companion piece to the 1970s movie.

“Wonka” is set to open in cinemas everywhere on December 15th.
