Moviegoers won’t just see Timothee Chalamet in “Dune: Part Two” this fall. After the star gets the sands of Arrakis out of his shoes, he will pick up a cane and top hat and show off his singing voice in “Wonka,” a musical based on Roald Dahl’s enigmatic, colorful and slightly sinister candyman.
The trailer shown Tuesday at CinemaCon shows Chalamet as Willy Wonka as he gathers cacao beans in Africa and introduces the world to his candy to the first time. But he faces the wrath of the “chocolate cartel,” which has cornered the market on candy and is crushing any aspiring competitors.
