Earlier this spring, CinemaCon attendees got the first trailer of the anticipated prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factor with Wonka.

Although this trailer seems to have a brand new magical story with Timothy Chalamet as the younger Willy Wonka, actor Hugh Grant takes all the buzz as the Oompa Loompa.

The rest of the cast includes Calah Lane (The Day Shall Come), Keegan-Michael Key (The Prom, Schmigadoon), Paterson Joseph (Vigil, Noughts + Crosses), Matt Lucas (Paddington, Little Britain), Mathew Baynton (The Wrong Mans, Ghosts), Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water, The Paddington films), Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English, Mr. Bean films), Jim Carter (Downton Abbey), and Olivia Colman (The Favourite).

Here is the official synopsis:

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, comes an intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotions, 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 bit 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.
