'He can do it all.'
The Big Picture All eyes are on Timothée Chalamet’s upcoming feature Wonka. With the actor’s other tentpole release Dune 2 being delayed, his fans will only see him in the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel this year. The movie is helmed by Paddington director Paul King and will explore the origins of the eccentric chocolatier. As the marketing rolls out, fans are getting a good look at the characters as well as getting an understanding of what the feature might entail.
The movie's first trailer gave fans a tease of what to expect with Chalamet’s performance. The fantastical feature will take fans into the colorful, savory world of Willy Wonka as he establishes his chocolate empire. While it feels like there is going to be a lot of singing and dancing in the movie, King considers it less like a musical and more of "a movie with songs.
Nonetheless, King praised Chalamet’s performance, saying, “[Chalamet]’s got a beautiful singing voice." Adding, "The person it reminded me of was Bing Crosby. There’s quite a range, because it does go from a couple of bigger, showstopper-y sort of things, to moments of real, pure emotion and he can do it all… I’m going to sound like a crazed fan.
Who Else Is Starring in 'Wonka'? Along with Chalamet as Willy Wonka the movie also casts Calah Lane as Noodle, Paterson Joseph as Arthur Slugworth, Matt Lucas as Prodnose, Mathew Baynton as Ficklegruber, Sally Hawkins as Willy Wonka's mother, Rowan Atkinson as a priest, and Hugh Grant as an Oompa-Loompa.
