Wonka's first trailer has finally arrived, giving us our best look yet at Timothée Chalamet's take on the classic Roald Dahl character.
The new movie was described by writer/director Paul King at a trailer preview event, which Digital Spy attended, as a "companion piece" to the classic 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
Even though we don't get any songs in the trailer, King promised that Wonka will feature song and dance performances, including original songs by Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy and spins on classic songs such as 'Pure Imagination'.
Wonka's cast also includes Keegan-Michael Key, Rowan Atkinson, Sally Hawkins, Olivia Colman, Paterson Joseph, Mathew Baynton and Matt Lucas.
Colman, who plays a villain in the movie, praised Chalamet's performance as Willy Wonka in December 2022: "He's doing something different. It's such a treat. He's so beautiful on-screen. He's magical."
Based on this first trailer, it seems like she was onto something.
Wonka will be released in cinemas on December 15.
