'Wonka' Official Trailer

Director Paul King reimagines the classic Roald Dahl story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Wonka.

This new version dives into how the young Wonka came to be the renowned magician meets chocolatier we know and love. On December 15, audiences will decide who has mastered the characterization from the original book while getting a deeper look into this famed character.&nbsp;
