Wonka, directed by Paddington director Paul King and written by Simon Rich, stars Timothée Chalamet. Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory served as Wonka's inspiration. Hugh Grant's character, the Oompa-Loompa, can be seen singing and dancing with Timothee Chalamet's Wonka in the new trailer from the origin narrative.
In the new film, which also stars Calah Lane, Olivia Colman, Keegan-Michael Key, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Matt Lucas, and Sally Hawkins, Chalamet will demonstrate his singing and dancing prowess.
