Timothee Chalamet’s stint as infamous chocolatier Wonka is to begin soon. Director Paul King’s holiday feature is set to bring magic, music and mayhem to audiences worldwide. The movie presents a refreshing take on the character serving as a prequel to the story we all know and love. Wonka sees the rise and transformation of Willy, an inventive young spirit turning into the notorious Wonka we know him to be.

To hype the fans further, the makers are revealing more elements from the feature and we have a good look at Wonka and Oompa-Loompa’s first meeting. The clip sees Oompa-Loompa’s (Hugh Grant) tiny feet silently entering Wonka’s bedroom, while he’s sleeping. As Oompa-Loompa nears a jar to steal some candies, he falls for the trap Wonka has laid. When confronted Oompa-Loompa begins a song and a dance about the “tragic tale” when Wonka “destroyed his life.”

‘Wonka’ is Full of Music and Mysterious Characters

The movie has musical numbers, but King previously assured that it’s not an outright musical. The movie billed as an “origin story that explores the vivid, mythical beginnings of the imaginative young inventor.” As the previous trailers show Wonka will have to get through the conspiring town officials to set up his chocolate factory. While Willy Wonka is a familiar character thanks to author Roald Dahl’s iconic story and previous movie iterations wherein actors like Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp played the character, Wonka aims to widen the universe by introducing new characters like Noodle, Wonka’s partner in crime played by young actor Calah Lane, Sally Hawkins will play Willy Wonka’s mother, who inspired and introduced to making chocolates and will give us a peak into his origins and Olivia Colman plays a very mischievous Mrs. Scrubitt, whose intentions are yet to be known.

The movie further has a power-packed cast including Paterson Joseph as Arthur Slugworth, Matt Lucas as Prodnose, Mathew Baynton as Ficklegruber, and Rowan Atkinson as a priest. Further, rounding off the cast are Keegan-Michael Key, Jim Carter, Tom Davis, Natasha Rothwell, Rich Fulcher, Rakhee Thakrar, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Simon Farnaby, Colin O’Brien, and Ellie White.
