The renowned actor Timothee Chalamet, best known for his parts in “Dune” and “Call Me by Your Name,” is slated to play the lead in the upcoming film “Wonka,” which narrates the beginnings of the legend that is Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka.

The vocal coach for artists such as Ariana Grande, John Legend, and Katy Perry, Eric Vetro, with whom Chalamet has collaborated, said he put a lot of effort into getting ready for the movie’s musical sequences.

In the movie, a chocolate-loving inventor named Wonka pursues his ambition of setting up shop in a made-up city.
