Wonka

How did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s whimsical inventor come to be?

Wonka sees Timothée Chalamet take on the role of Roald Dahl’s eccentric chocolatier, and reviving a beloved character from one of the best-selling Children’s books of all time.

The film explores Willy’s transformation from a dreamy, candy-loving boy to an eccentric genius after a life-changing visit to a chocolate factory, his introduction to the oompa-loompas and the many mysteries of candy-making.
