New footage shown at CinemaCon reveals this charming British actor has joined the cast of Wonka as an Oompa Loompa!
CinemaCon 2023 is underway with a slate of presentations from major studios. Warner Bros. Pictures got in on the action by releasing a convention-exclusive trailer for their upcoming musical adaptation Wonka, which revealed that British icon Hugh Grant had joined the cast as an Oompa-Loompa.
The footage, which gave more of an insight into the fantastical world of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, showed Grant as a CGI-driven Oompa-Loompa at the end of the trailer, where he can be heard introducing himself to the eponymous chocolate maker. This was a shocking reveal given that Grant had not even been announced as part of the cast, though rumors had previously swirled that he had joined the project.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chalamet and Grant will be joined by an A-list ensemble cast including Rowan Atkinson, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Colman, Sally Hawkins, Natasha Rothwell, Matt Lucas, and more. Given that Warner Bros. is remaining extremely tight-lipped about the film's plot, there are no significant details about who most of these cast members will be playing, although the trailer confirmed that Hawkins will portray Wonka's mother.
While there is a ton of talent on screen, the crew behind the camera is equally impressive. Wonka will be directed by Paul King, known for helming the family films Paddington and Paddington 2. King will direct off a screenplay he co-wrote with Simon Farnaby, with the two getting the final writing credits after previous drafts of the script were helmed by Simon Rich, Simon Stephenson, Jeff Nathanson, and Steven Levenson.
