Wonka, the film based on Roald Dhal's popular classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is going to star actor Hugh Grant as a tiny CGI Oompa-Loompa as well as Matt Lucas and more
Hugh Grant has been seen in the official trailer for the new movie about Willy Wonka as a tiny CGI Oompa-Loompa, who has green hair and an orange face. The British actor will star opposite Timothee Chalamet, who takes on the role of the eccentric chocolate factory owner, in Wonka.
Paul King, best known for his work on the Paddington films, has directed the prequel. In the final moments of the clip, Wonka meets Hugh's character – who is trapped in a glass jar – and says: “So you’re the funny little man who’s been following me?” Timothee, who rose to fame in 2017’s Call Me By Your Name and has since starred in 2021’s Dune, describes Wonka as “something of a magician, inventor and chocolate maker” in the trailer.
The trailer has sparked a huge reaction online with fans excited to watch the film. One excited fan said: "This is so fantastic and so much fun!!! I love it!"
