The next time you open the Max streaming service, music and chocolate may be on the menu.
Wonka, the recently released film that chronicles the early days of Roald Dahl’s iconic chocolatier, will join the spread of options on Max next week. Timothée Chalamet specializes in sweets as the young Willy Wonka, and Paul King directs the song and sugar-filled spectacle (as he did the Paddington films). The starry cast also includes Hugh Grant, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Colman, Calah Lane and Rowan Atkinson.
