Timothee Chalamet, polar opposites charm

Actor Timothee Chalamet shows off his contrasting charms through 'Wonka' and 'Dune: Part 2'.

Hollywood's popular actor Timothée Chalamet returns with two new films with polar opposite charms.

First, 'Wonka', which has become Timothée Chalamet's highest-grossing film of all time, with cumulative worldwide gross exceeding $530 million, is scheduled to be released in Korea on the 31st. 'Wonka' is a sweet adventure that depicts the amazing journey of 'Willy Wonka', who has nothing but sweet dreams and an old hat, to become the world's best chocolate maker. Timothee Chalamet, who plays the role of Wonka, a chocolate maker who has just entered Sweet Department Store, the mecca of desserts, plans to portray a sweet and quirky character in his own unique way with his unique, delicate acting. In particular, it is known that this work will demonstrate sweet singing skills and outstanding dancing skills that have been strengthened through idol-level hard training, doubling the excitement of prospective audiences eagerly awaiting the release.

In February, 'Dune: Part 2', the sequel to Timothee Chalamet's masterpiece 'Dune', will be released. 'Dune', which was released amidst a pandemic and was a box office hit, recording cumulative worldwide profits of $402 million, fostered a fandom called 'Dune Chinja' and attracted 1.6 million viewers, receiving great love in Korea as well. Timothée Chalamet, who showed off his presence as 'Paul', the heir to the Atreides family who is destined to save the entire universe, realizes his abilities, awakens, and embarks on a journey for revenge in 'Dune: Part 2'. In contrast to the warm and sweet 'warm handsome man' in 'Wonka', he will be shown as a cold and strong 'cold handsome man'.
