Netflix is moving forward with its animated feature “Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory,” adding more talent to the voice cast and setting its theatrical rollout. Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter both name Kate Winslet and Helena Bonham Carter among newly announced cast members, alongside Nicola Coughlan and other additions.
Deadline reports a wider set of casting announcements, including Charithra Chandran, Samson Kayo, Christopher Chung and Helena Bonham Carter, and also says the streamer sets a release date and a 47-day theatrical window. The Hollywood Reporter focuses more narrowly on the wide theatrical release and the core cast announcement, highlighting the participation of Kit Connor as Charlie Paley and Taika Waititi as Willy Wonka, with Winslet, Bonham Carter and Coughlan joining the voice cast.
