Directed by Paul King, the filmmaker behind Paddington and Paddington 2, Wonka explores Willy Wonka’s backstory, with Chalamet appearing as a younger version of the character.

The original score is composed by Joby Talbot, who previously worked on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

The film also features a handful of new songs from Neil Hannon – half of the pop group The Divine Comedy – which are performed by Chalamet and the rest of the cast.
