Netflix Releases First Look at ‘Charlie vs. The Chocolate Factory’ starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi

Netflix has released the first image from its new animated movie, Charlie vs. The Chocolate Factory. Set in the world of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the movie features the voices of Kit Connor and Taika Waititi.

In the movie, “Willy Wonka (Waititi) has spent the years since the Golden Ticket contest behind bars (not the chocolate kind) for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world. But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends. Facing eviction, this next generation of “rotten” kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew…”

Set to come to Netflix in 2027, Connor spoke out about the new movie saying, “I’m so excited to enter the wonderful world of Wonka. I was immediately caught by the early concept art, and the directors’ vision for the film – capturing the spirit and heart that made the original story so special, whilst imbuing it with something so fresh and unique. It’s such a fun representation of the London that I know. This new adventure is going to surprise audiences around the world, you’re in for a treat!”

Sounds like it’s going to be a fun movie! What do you guys think?
