We promise you that it was coming. Following on from the poster which dropped a little earlier this evening, Warner Bros. Pictures has now released the first official trailer for Wonka starring Timothee Chalamet. Directed by Paul King, Wonka comes to UK cinemas this Christmas.
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.
