Wonka

Young inventor, magician, and chocolatier Willy Wonka dreams of making the best chocolate in the world. He has traversed the world to unlock the best and wildest recipes, but finds his ambitions hindered by the stubborn Chocolate Cartel. With the help of his friend Noodle, Willy starts to imagine genius ideas so wild and utterly insane, they will bring him worldwide fame.

From the director of Paddington comes this musical fantasy about a young man who won’t let anyone, or the laws of physics, stand in the way of his big dreams. Timothée Chalamet gives a spellbinding performance as we see the creation of the eccentric man who will one day welcome Charlie into his chocolate factory.
