Timothée Chalamet can now add "chocolate maker" to his extensive resume.
You know Timothée Chalamet.

He's best known for roles in movies like Dune, Call Me By Your Name, Little Women, Lady Bird, Bones and All, Beautiful Boy, and more. But if you haven't seen any of those movies, he's also known for his iconic high school rapping performances as his alter ego, Lil Timmy Tim.
And one could say he's stayed booked and busy, because while he's about to start the promotion cycle for the upcoming Dune: Part Two, the new trailer for his other upcoming movie, Wonka, just came out this morning.

Warner Bros. / youtube.comIn Wonka, Timothée stars as the titular Willy Wonka — aka the world’s greatest inventor, magician, and chocolate maker first made famous by Roald Dahl's children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp have also notably played the role in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), respectively. However, Timmy's version of the character will focus on the years before Wonka became the man we all know today.

The movie's press release even states, "this irresistibly vivid and inventive big screen spectacle will introduce audiences to a young Willy Wonka, chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time."
Okay, now let's get into the trailer. We open with Timmy's Wonka telling his story about "traveling the world and perfecting [his] craft."

And of course, a lot of the townsfolk are a little hesitant about his chocolate making skills.

He's VERY in-character. Just look at this lil' spin.

So, Wonka dreams of opening his own chocolate shop, but not if the "chocolate cartel" has anything to say about it.

But Wonka isn't ready to give up that easily, so he sets out to impress everyone with the pure magic of his candy.

Things sure do get wacky.

Hugh Grant also stars as THE Oompa-Loompa that started it all. (So sorry for the jump scare!!!)

We also get to see some appearances from big names like Olivia Colman, Keegan-Michael Key, Sally Hawkins, and Rowan Atkinson, who make up this star-studded cast.

Calah Lane, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Jim Carter, Natasha Rothwell, Rich Fulcher, Rakhee Thakrar, Tom Davis, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith also star in the movie.
And there will be a song...or a few.

One more thing I just have to mention is that Wonka is written and directed by Paul King, who wrote and directed Paddington, so we already know this movie is gonna be a romp and a half.
