Among an impressive cast, Wonka features Timothée Chalamet as the titular character, Calah Lane as Wonka’s friend Noodle, Paterson Joseph as Slugworth, and Hugh Grant as Lofty the Oompa Loompa. It was directed by Paul King and co-written by King and Simon Farnaby.

He faces many difficulties when following his dream and takes down a Chocolate Cartel in the process.
