Wonka | Trailer #2
Step into a world of pure imagination✨ #WonkaMovie – Only in theaters December 15.
Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic children’s book and one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, “Wonka” tells the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.
From Paul King, writer/director of the “Paddington” films, David Heyman, producer of “Harry Potter,” “Gravity,” “Fantastic Beasts” and “Paddington,” and producers Alexandra Derbyshire (the “Paddington” films, “Jurassic World: Dominion”) and Luke Kelly (“Roald Dahl’s The Witches”), comes an intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion, all told with fabulous heart and humor. Starring Timothée Chalamet in the title role, this irresistibly vivid and inventive big screen spectacle will introduce audiences to a young Willy Wonka, chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time—proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
Starring alongside Chalamet are Calah Lane (“The Day Shall Come”), Emmy and Peabody Award winner Keegan-Michael Key (“The Prom,” “Schmigadoon”), Paterson Joseph (“Vigil,” “Noughts + Crosses”), Matt Lucas (“Paddington,” “Little Britain”), Mathew Baynton (“The Wrong Mans,” “Ghosts”), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (“The Shape of Water,” the “Paddington” films, “Spencer”), Rowan Atkinson (the “Johnny English” and “Mr. Bean” films, “Love Actually”), Jim Carter (“Downton Abbey”), with Oscar winner Olivia Colman (“The Favourite,” “The Lost Daughter”) and Hugh Grant (“Paddington 2,” “A Very English Scandal”). The film also stars Natasha Rothwell (“White Lotus,” “Insecure”), Rich Fulcher (“Marriage Story,” “Disenchantment”), Rakhee Thakrar (“Sex Education,” “Four Weddings and a Funeral”), Tom Davis (“Paddington 2,” “King Gary”) and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (“Paddington 2,” “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” “Mary Poppins Returns”).
Simon Farnaby (“Paddington 2”) & Paul King wrote the screenplay, based on a story by King and characters created by Roald Dahl. Michael Siegel, Cate Adams, Rosie Alison and Tim Wellspring are serving as executive producers. King’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Chung-Hoon Chung (“Last Night in Soho,” “Ah-ga-ssi”); Oscar-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley (“Tenet,” “Dunkirk”); editor Mark Everson (the “Paddington” films); Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (the “Paddington” films, “Topsy-Turvy”); and composer Joby Talbot (the “Sing” films). Neil Hannon of the band The Divine Comedy is writing original songs for the film.

The thing I’m gonna miss from the old movies is the punishment scenes for all those 4 bad children followed by Oompa Loompas’ singing as they were sent off. I hope they continue the tradition with these 4 bad guys.
Violet and Veruca get the funniest defeats
How much you wanna bet the people that are against Wonka will get the same treatment one way or another? XD
I’m not going to miss those things at all because I’m not going to go see it because I am tired of reboots and prequel’s and sequels. They are dangling keys in front of your face, and you are going to be disappointed. Besides, you’ve seen everything you need to see in the trailer.
@Attention Deficit SquirrelAgreed.
But why are you here?
The cool thing is is that we don’t know much about Wonka’s backstory, so it’s cool that we are getting a prequel. I’m actually excited for this.
Honestly it’s nice to see a heartwarming movie coming to theaters for a change. I feel like the cast and crew had a lot of fun with Wonka.
It’s still a prequel not an original movie
It just comes off as silly, not heartwarming… and not funny-silly or clever-silly, more like drunk-silly, jokes-don’t-land-silly
Willy Wonka origin story ? sign me up
@Jensen Jorshinai thought this was prequel to Johnny depp Willy wonka
I love how they incorporated pure imagination into the trailer
❤❤me too ❤❤
Cheap nostalgia
That’s epic
It looks TERRIBLE 🤣
The original Willy Wonka movie is and will always be the best one
The Tim Burton film is better
@SuperJackster01Excuse me? Disgusting 🤢, I’m going to barf, 🤢🤮. You like the creepy vibes that Tim gives in that movie? Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka is ALWAYS the best.
People said that with 80s Batman before Nolan’s came along.
@Bobby Emerson That version is more faithful to the book
Gene Wilder all the way!!!
This trailer gives a much better impression than the last one
Probably because they make the pointless sidekick girl almost invisible in this one. I suspect she has a much bigger part in the movie than this trailer lets on.
Exactly. This second one is giving off the Paddington vibe
I disagree, First Trailer looks better in my opinion But I might be biased though 🤷
@jedijonesNo it’s because the main actor is far less cringe in this trailer not the little girl.
I like how different this one is. And the fact its a prequel. Im glad it wasn’t just another remake of the last wonka movies
This really looks and feels like a whimsical fantasy and that perfectly suits the original story.
I hope this film turns out as good as the trailer shows, or the people who work on it are telling us about. I really do.
I know how you feel. I’m used to seeing movies that look good but the finished product is a slight downgrade.
Maybe a fun post credit idea like ending ip man 2 wonka sitting office meets a younger charlie bucket tells him come back one day when ya grown up type line smiling at charlie pure goodness
This trailer already looks so much better than the first. Plus, I’m excited to see Mathew Baynton have a full roll in a movie and not just a cameo (he plays one of the antagonist)
Who else is excited to see how Willy Wonka became the wonderful and wacky candy man we all know and love?
It actually did give me Paddington vibes. It’s quite surprising that someone who worked on that film is making this.
If it gave you Paddington vibes why is it surprising it has the same director? It should be the opposite of surprising?
@Phil Corrigan
It is surprising that the director is working on a bigger IP, namely Willy Wonka.
i love paddington so i’m sure i’ll love this movie
