What is the plot of Wonka movie?
Young chocolatier Willy Wonka (Chalamet) aspires to open his own chocolate shop at the Galeries Gourmet. With nothing but his delectable inventions and unwavering willpower, he plans to take the chocolate world by storm.
But introducing his chocolates to the masses proves to be tougher than expected, especially with the Galeries’ three main chocolatiers, Slugworth (Paterson Joseph), Prodnose (Matt Lucas), and Fickelgruber (Mathew Baynton), downright jealous of his creations. Fearing competition, they will stop at nothing to ruin Wonka’s chance of success.
Fortunately, the friends he meets along the way also happen to be the kindest and most loyal supporters he could ever ask for, helping him achieve his dreams and eliminate every hurdle.
The arrival of an Oompa Loompa called Lofty (Hugh Grant) also changes Wonka’s life, encouraging him to never give up; that is despite the Chocolate Cartel, his mean-spirited former landlady Mrs. Scrubbit (Olivia Colman), and the Chief of Police (Keegan-Michael Key) conspiring to crush his dreams.
The movie is directed by Paul King (Paddington) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Simon Farnaby.
