Additionally, Netflix has announced the full voice cast for “Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory,” with Nicola Coughlan, Charithra Chandran, Samson Kayo, Christopher Chung, Kate Winslet and Helena Bonham Carter joining the previously announced Kit Connor (as the new Charlie) and Taika Waititi (as Willy Wonka). The official synopsis for “Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory” is as follows: “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. Visit the chocolate factory in theaters on Nov. 5, 2027, and on Netflix Dec. 22, 2027.
