Wonka: Hugh Grant revealed as Oompa Loompa in new movie trailer

3 hours ago

Hugh Grant has been pictured for the first time as an Oompa Loompa in the first official trailer for Wonka.

The movie tells the backstory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka, played by US star Timothée Chalamet.

It is set before the opening of his famous chocolate factory.

At the end of the trailer, Wonka meets Grant's green-haired and orange-faced character, who is trapped in a glass jar, noting: "So you're the funny little man who's been following me?"

It is a departure for Grant, 62, who is best known for playing quintessentially English gentlemen in films like Notting Hill, Love Actually and Bridget Jones's Diary.

So, this would be the third version of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory?

Yes, although this seems to be a prequel. Also, there was a Tom & Jerry musical a few years back.

Definitely, makes sense and I must have missed that version of Wonka.

Excellent spin off sequel to the original, love to see other cities as well for example Birdbox: London.
