Ready for a sweet treat? Here’s your first look at Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory, a new animated film starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi.

Set in the years after the Golden Ticket contest, W***y Wonka (Taika) returns to the factory after spending years behind bars. He wants to add a little sweetness to a bitter world, but one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Kit) and his “rotten” friends.
