Timothée Chalamet shared the first look at his version of a young Willy Wonka in the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel, Wonka.

Chalamet shared on Twitter the image of his character behind a camera on the set of the film, which is scheduled to begin on March 17, 2023.

This first glimpse comes shortly after Warner Bros. revealed the film’s cast and announced that filming on the project has started. Alongside Chalamet, the cast includes Rowan Atkinson, Keegan Michael-Key, Jim Carter, Mathew Baynton, Olivia Colman, Tom Davis, Simon Farnaby, Rich Fulcher, Sally Hawkins, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Paterson Joseph, Calah Lane, Matt Lucas , Colin O’Brien, Natasha Rothwell, Rakhee Thakrar and Ellie White.

The film will be directed by Paddington director Paul King, and many actors including Davis, Farnaby, Hawking, Lucas and Holdbrook-Smith have all appeared in at least one Paddington film.

Wonky will serve as a prequel to Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Chalamet will be the third actor to take on the legendary role after Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp.

Along with Wonka, Chalamet will soon be adding another book adaptation to his resume that includes The Upcoming Dune, where he stars as Paul Atreides. In our review of Dune, we said that it is “a magnificent but imperfect epic, a technical marvel that spends too much time putting together a third act that never comes.”
