The Storyline of the 2023 film Wonka, the young man who founded the chocolate factory, is still showing in cinemas

The film depicts Wonka's early days as an eccentric chocolatier maker. This film is packaged as a 'companion work' to the film adaptation of Willy Wonka &; the Chocolate Factory, this film features Timothée Chalamet as the main character. He is supported by Calah Lane and other famous cast members such as Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Tom Davis, Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant.

Aspiring magician, inventor, and Chocolatier Willy Wonka arrives by boat in an unnamed European town to realize his dream of opening his chocolate shop at Galeries Gourmet. He decides to stay at a washing station owned by the cunning Scrubbit and his henchman, Bleacher. Despite warnings to read the Fine print from Noodle, the orphan living in Scrubbit's house, illiterate Wonka voluntarily signs her contract, which forces her to pay excessive fees during her stay. A confident Wonka goes to Galeries Gourmet to sell her "hoverchocs" that allow those who eat them to fly. Galeries' three main chocolatiers – Slugworth, Prodnose, and Fickelgruber – mocked Wonka's chocolate and called the Chief of Police to confiscate her earnings that day.

Unable to pay her room rent, Scrubbit forces Wonka to go to the laundry to work for 10,000 days to pay off her debt. He works with others trapped by Scrubbit: Noodle, accountant Abacus, plumber Piper, comedian Larry, and telephone operator Lottie. Abacus tells him that Slugworth, Prodnose, and Fickelgruber are nicknamed the "Chocolate Cartel" who are conspiring to obliterate their rivalry. The Chocolate Cartel has a base of operations located under a parish, run by corrupt Father Julius and "chocolate addict" monks, where they keep large reserves of chocolate. Wonka devises a plan to manipulate Bleacher and Scrubbit into

falling in love with each other, so that she and Noodle can secretly leave the laundry and start selling her chocolates. The Chocolate Cartel exploits the Chief's love of chocolate to threaten Wonka to leave town. Wonka tells Noodle that her love for chocolate comes from her late mother, who made her one last chocolate bar before dying. Noodle teaches Wonka how to read.

On one occasion, Wonka realizes that her chocolate has been stolen by a mysterious orange man who has been stalking her for years, and she and Noodle go to the local zoo to squeeze out giraffe milk, Abigail, and bond together. Wonka and Noodle recruit Abacus, Piper, Larry, and Lottie to help her sell chocolates to pay off debts and increase their popularity while avoiding Scrubbit and Chief. Meanwhile, Wonka catches the man who stole her chocolate, an Oompa Loompa named Lofty. Years earlier, Wonka had taken valuable cocoa beans from Oompa Loompa under Lofty's supervision, leading Lofty to be banished to hunt Wonka down to pay his debt. Lofty tricks Wonka into escaping.

Wonka's group earns enough money to open her dream chocolate shop that is crowded with people. However, the Chief and the Chocolate Cartel have learned of Wonka's operation. They complained to Scrubbit, who stained her chocolate with yeti sweat, causing customers' hair to grow excessively and their skin to change color. An angry crowd ransacked and smashed Wonka's shop in retaliation. As the team returns to the wash, the Cartels reveal themselves as masterminds to Wonka and offer to pay off everyone's debts if she leaves town and stops making chocolate forever. Wonka accepts the offer and leaves by boat later that night. Lofty joins Wonka on the ship and motivates him to return and fight the Cartel before the two abandon ship after realizing that the ship is about to explode.

After their debt is paid, Abacus, Piper, Larry, and Lottie are freed from the wash, but Slugworth pays Scrubbit to keep Noodle inside forever. Wonka and her group rescue Noodle, and Wonka tells Noodle that she has concluded that Noodle is the daughter of Slugworth's deceased brother. After Noodle is abandoned by her biological mother to Slugworth, she realizes that Noodle can challenge her claim to family wealth. Slugworth handed his nephew over to Scrubbit and lied to his mother that he had died. Wonka and his group decide to come up with an elaborate plan to expose the Cartel through an account book previously discovered by Abacus while he was working for Slugworth.

Using a distraction caused by Abigail, Wonka and Noodle enter the base but are cornered by the Cartel, which forces them into a chocolate reserve to drown them. Wonka tells them to give a floating bottle of floated chocolate to Lofty to pay off his debt, but the Cartel and Julius eat the chocolate, making Lofty incapacitate Julius and save the two. Confronting the Cartel and the Chief outside, Wonka and Noodle expose their actions to the police and public through their account books, and release their reserves of chocolate laced with Wonka's

homemade ingredients through a fountain. The cartel floats uncontrollably as the chocolate floats, while the Chief of Police is arrested. The crowd celebrated by tasting Wonka's chocolate fountain. Wonka unwraps her mother's chocolates, where she sees a golden ticket with a final message from her mother saying that chocolates should be shared. Wonka shares her mother's chocolates with her friends.

Wonka helps Noodle meet her biological mother. He and Lofty then buy an abandoned castle and begin building a factory, while Scrubbit and Bleacher are arrested after their attempt to eliminate evidence of Wonka's shop sabotage backfires on them, leading them to become Twits.
