Timothée Chalamet will play one of the most epic characters in this new film

The actor who starred in ‘Dune‘, Timothée Chalamet, will be in charge of playing one of the most epic characters in cinema, that’s right, we are talking about Willy Wonka, formerly embodied by actor Johnny Depp, a new trailer for the new film ‘Wonka‘ has been revealed, where it shows us a confident Timothée and much less pale.

It looks like it’s going to be a busy fall for Timothée Chalamet, as in November, the actor will star in the sci-fi sequel, ‘Dune: Part Two‘ from Warner Bros. and Legendary, and a few weeks later, he will headline the  ‘Wonka’ movie.

Although it may seem so, this new film is not a remake of the previous Willy Wonka movies, but rather a prequel, telling the story of the beginnings of Roald Dahl‘s iconic character. Viewers are already looking forward to what was for many a childhood movie, also telling us a little more about the existence of the little creatures called Oompa-Loompas.

The film was directed by Paul King and Simon Farnaby, who also helped write the screenplay, and will be released in theaters on December 15th of this year. In the trailer is shown a strange figure far from the same one used by Tim Burton in ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory‘, focusing on Willy Wonka as the main character.
