Netflix has announced that Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory, a new film from Netflix Animation Studios, will be released in theaters globally on November 5, 2027. In the film, 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. Facing eviction, this next generation of “rotten” kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. Taika Waititi is the executive producer.
