HBO Max is preparing its transformation into Max, which will occur in Spain shortly. While we wait, the streaming platform releases a film that is still in theaters and that has been one of the great hits of the beginning of 2024. Surely, as it passes through streaming, it will also sweep.

It must be admitted that, lately, there has been a lot of talk about Netflix, Disney+ or SkyShowtime, but we must not forget about HBO Max. The Warner platform has been highlighting its value for a few weeks through good releases. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which opens in a few days, will be joined by another essential film on March 8.

It’s Wonka Time on HBO Max

Maybe you have seen it in the cinema, since it was released on Christmas and it was one of those films that we couldn’t resist seeing on the big screen. Or you may be thinking about going to see it now, since it is still available in dozens of theaters across the country. But we already know that Wonka, the prequel that takes us to the origin of the legendary character, is coming to HBO Max soon.

It will be on March 8 in one of the most anticipated premieres in recent months on the platform, where little by little we are coming across films as current as those that HBO Max usually released a few years ago. In the case of Wonka, it is recent like the sequel to Aquaman, but this film has the particularity of having received great support from critics and the public. Get ready to enter a fantasy world!

A legendary character

Willy Wonka is already a must-have when we think of those movies that we like to watch over and over again and that accompany us in the background when we want to have company. His catchy songs and funny stories make him the kind of character we’re always happy to see on screen. Curiously, that has happened with the three incarnations of the master chocolatier, both with the original by Gene Wilder and with that of Johnny Depp and the latest by Timothée Chalamet. You can’t say that the casting team hasn’t done a great job generation after generation!

Each of these Wonkas has had something special that has allowed them to stand out in their own way and give the character a special dimension. Chalamet, in this film coming to HBO Max, had an important challenge, since he had to represent the youngest version of the candy man we have ever seen. And that was not at all simple as you can imagine. However, he does an excellent job of giving his own dimension to the protagonist so that the audience can enjoy Wonka without having to compare him to the previous incarnations he has had.

Another important aspect of the film is that the rest of the cast is also at a very high level and surprises us with many familiar faces. The first thing that will catch your attention is seeing Hugh Grant, the legend of the British romantic comedy, turned into Oompa-Loompa, a character who, in view of his statements, has not finished liking him. But for the audience, seeing him looking like that is quite a spectacle.

The main character of the movie Wonka

The audience will also recognize the legendary Mr. Bean, actor Rowan Atkinson, who is also present in the film and helps give the production that special touch that Willy Wonka fans expect. To this we must add the presence of other actors such as Olivia Colman, the funny Keegan-Michael Key or Jim Carter, who also embellish their presence on screen.

Of course, we must not forget to mention that Wonka is a very fun musical, full of songs that you will hum without hesitation and with a story full of fantasy. It’s a new twist on the character and an excellent way to complement the previous two films so we can learn a little more about his past. Without a doubt, one of the best things to come to HBO Max in a long time.
