Timothee Chalamet follows in the footsteps of Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp to play Willy Wonka in a new prequel film that looks at how Roald Dahl’s fictional character came to love chocolate.
The first trailer for “Wonka” was released on Tuesday, July 11, showing the 27-year-old “Dune” and “Call Me by Your Name” actor playing a younger version of the famed candy maker, discovering cocoa beans, befriending a young orphan girl and dreaming of having his own chocolate store.
The film, out in December, is set before the 1971 movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” starring Wilder as Wonka in an adaptation of Dahl’s beloved 1964 book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
