Wonka has added Olivia Colma♐n, Rowan Atk🔥inson, and Sally Hawkins to its cast.

Production has kicked off on the prequel film, which will explo🥀re the life of the famous chocolatier before his massive success – and is also a musical, with original songs penned by The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon. Timothée Chalamet will play the titular🌳 character Willy Wonka. 

There's no word yet on who Colman, Atkinson, and Hawkins are playing, but considering Atkinson's comedic chops (he'll forever be Mr. Bean to us), we can hazard a guess that he'll be bringing some laughs to the film. Hawkins previously worked with director Paul King on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paddington and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paddington 2, while Col♑man just won an Emmy for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix's The Crown. ༺;

The casting announcement describes the film as delving into the "vivid, mythical beginnings of the imaginative young inventor b🐈efore he become♛s the renowned scrumdiddlyumptious Mozart of chocolate," which sounds suitably Dahl-esque (H/T ).

King cﷺo-wrote the script with his Paddington 2 collaborator Simon Farnaby, who also has a role in the film. The rest of the cast includes Matt Lucas, Keegan-Michael Key, Tom Davis, Rich Fulcher, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, and Ellie White.

We'll be seeing a lot more Dahl adaptations in the coming years after Netflix's acquisition of The Ro🍃ald Dahl Story Company. The streamer already has a Matilda musical in the works, with Emma Thompson playing Miss Trunchball, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:No Time to Die's Lashana Lynch appearing as Miss Honey.
