Timothée Chalamet has revealed why he said yes to starring in Wonka as 🌞the titular chocolatier – and it's a very wholesome reason. 

"To work on something that will have an uncynical young audience, that was just a big joy," Chalamet told . "That's why I was drawn to it. In a time and climate of 𒈔intense political rhetoric, when there's so much🌸 bad news all the time, this is hopefully going to be a piece of chocolate."

Wonka footage has yet to be revealed to the public, but some did play behind closed doors for CinemaCon attendees. The footage revealed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hugh Grant w🎀ill be playing an Oompa Loompa, while Sally Hawkins plays Wonka's mother, and Calah Lane plays a friend of the cho🍎colatier's. 

"This is a Willy that’s full of joy and hope and 🐠desire to become the greatest chocolatier," Chalamet told the 🍸CinemaCon crowd.
