The first trailer for Wonka from Warner Bros. Discovery provides a look into the humble beginnings of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
Timothée Chalamet plays a young Willy Wonka in the movie, which traces the life of the famous chocolatier from how he created his cherished recipes to how he first saw the Oompa Loompas, who would later look after his business. This first clip shows his rise as he works relentlessly to gather resources and prepare for the opening of the biggest factory known to man.

Timothee Chalamet steals the show as a chaotic chocolatier in this fantastical adventure in the Wonka trailer!
The first complete look at Chalamet as a “magician, inventor, and chocolate-maker” in the early years before establishing his famed chocolate factory is revealed in the official Wonka trailer.
Wonka lands in a town regarded as the world’s chocolate capital and begins working with an orphan girl portrayed by Calah Lane. Still, The Chocolate Cartel dashes his hopes of having his chocolate shop. That is until he comes up with an idea.
The Wonka trailer provides the first complete look at Chalamet’s portrayal as the eccentric chocolatier, which is an excellent blend of Wilder and Johnny Depp, the latter of whom portrayed Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The Wonka trailer depicts a youthful Willy full of pleasure and optimism and aspires to be the world’s greatest candy maker, in sharp contrast to Wilder’s older, reclusive, and more cynical depiction of the character.
The trailer explores Willy Wonka’s past further, including his experiments with mystical delights like ‘Hoverchoc’ and how he first discovered the Oompa-Loompas.
Grant portrays a little Oompa Loompa performing in a glass jar, which made news when the first Wonka footage was shown at CinemaCon.
Other Oscar-worthy performances include Olivia Colman as an “evil washhouse owner,” as described by the director, and Sally Hawkins as Willy’s mother, who encourages him to pursue his goals.
The Willy Wonka trailer also shows the first full shots of the film’s musical moments, featuring Chalamet’s character fantasizing about tap dancing while leading a group of umbrella-wielding artists around him.
This will be only one of the film’s numerous musical parts, with Chalamet confirming seven. With its joyous musical scenes and wintry location, Wonka will be an ideal Christmas release on December 15.
“Based on Roald Dahl’s remarkable figure at the heart of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the greatest 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 ended up being the beloved Willy Wonka that we all know today,” reads the official synopsis provided by Warner Bros.
