Wonka: 1 New Poster And 1 New International Poster
We have a new domestic and a new international poster for Wonka, and they are just as busy as you would expect a Willy Wonka Prequel Film poster to be.
Article Summary
- Wonka touts bewitching new domestic and international posters, adding to curiosities about the film.
- Despite onsite polling indicating audience hype, final box office triumph remains unsure.
- Active digital marketing presages the looming release amidst ongoing strikes.
- In theatre anticipation mounts for the fantastical Willy Wonka prequel, set to premiere December 15, 2023.
Warner Bros. Discovery has a pretty full December slate coming up, and Wonka is still so baffling that it exists it's a little weird. While polling of movie audiences might say there is a lot of hype for this film, those numbers are not always accurate and absolutely do not always translate to actual box office returns. The marketing for the film is starting to pick up on the digital side since the strike is still ongoing, and with that have come some posters. We have a new domestic poster that was released on X/Twitter, while IMP Awards had a new international poster.
Wonka: Summary, Cast List, Release Date
Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl's most iconic children's book and one of the best-selling children's books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.
From Paul King, writer/director of the Paddington films, David Heyman, producer of Harry Potter, Gravity, Fantastic Beasts and Paddington, and producers Alexandra Derbyshire (the Paddington films, Jurassic World: Dominion) and Luke Kelly (Roald Dahl's The Witches), comes an intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion, all told with fabulous heart and humor. Starring Timothée Chalamet in the title role, 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—proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you're lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
