== Cast & Characters ==
* Ronny Chieng as Willy Wonka: A owner of the world's largest candy factory, making candy and chocolate. Wonka holds a contest, hiding 5 Golden Tickets within the wrappers of his chocolate bars, promising their finders a tour of his factory and a lifelong supply of his creations.
* Daniel Padilla as Charlie Bucket: He is depicted as a kind-hearted and selfless boy who lives in poverty with his father and his four grandparents.
* ... as Grandpa Joe: He tells Charlie (and the reader) the story of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and the mystery of the secret workers. When Charlie finds the Golden Ticket, Grandpa Joe leaps out of bed in joy and is chosen as the one to accompany Charlie on the tour of the factory.
* Tenzing Norgay Trainor as Augustus Gloop: He hails from the fictional town of Düsseldorf, Germany. His mother takes great pride in his gluttonous eating and seems to enjoy the attention of the media. He is portrayed as "enormously fat". Augustus is the first to be removed from the tour: while drinking from the Chocolate Room's Chocolate River, he accidentally falls into the river and is drawn through a pipe to the factory's Fudge Room. His parents are summoned to retrieve him from the mixing-machine.
* Claudia Kim as Veruca Salt: A greedy, demanding and spoiled brat. She demands everything she wants, and she wants everything she sees. Veruca is the second person to find a Golden Ticket and the third eliminated from the factory tour. Unlike the other winners, Veruca did not find a golden ticket herself; rather her father instructed the workers of his peanut shelling factory to unwrap thousands of Wonka bars he had purchased until they found a golden ticket. Showing her wealthy parents no mercy, and no regard for other people's property, Veruca frequently pesters her parents to purchase anything that catches her fancy. She also likes tap dancing.For example, when the tour reaches the Nut Sorting Room — a place where trained squirrels test each nut to see if it is good or bad by tapping it with their knuckles — Veruca demands that her parents buy a trained squirrel for her from Mr. Wonka. He refuses, so she goes into the squirrels' area to get one for herself. Instead, the squirrels grab her and declare her a "bad nut". After that, both she and her parents are thrown down the garbage chute. Later, all three Salts are seen exiting the factory "covered in garbage".
* Tiffany Young as Violet Beauregarde: A skillful, self-centered, rude, and chewing gum-obsessed girl, the third person to find a Golden Ticket. Violet chews gum obsessively and boasts that she has been chewing the same piece "for three months solid", a world record which Violet proclaims was previously held by her best friend Cornelia Prinzmetel. She is also aggressively competitive and prideful and has won trophies for gum chewing and other activities. she is from California. When Wonka shows the group around the Inventing Room, he stops to display a new type of gum he is working on. The gum doubles as a three-course meal which is composed of tomato soup, roast beef and a baked potato, and blueberry pie and ice cream. Violet is intrigued and eager to try it out, so despite Wonka's protests, she snatches and chews the gum. She is delighted by its effects but, when she reaches the dessert, blueberry pie, her skin starts turning an indigo color and her body begins to swell up. When her swelling stops, she resembles a round blueberry, causing Wonka to have the Oompa-Loompas roll her to the Juicing Room to have the juice squeezed out of her. She is last seen leaving the factory with the other children, restored to her normal size but still with indigo skin, which Wonka says nothing can be done about.
* Lei Wu as Mike Teavee: He was described as adorned with 18 toy pistols that he "fires" while watching gangsters on TV. He is bad-tempered and slothful, but also intelligent, and asks Wonka several questions (which go unanswered) throughout the tour. How he found his Golden Ticket is never explained, as he is too absorbed in his television viewing to talk to the press about it. He does have an explanation of how he found the Golden Ticket: he used an algorithm to find it as an intellectual exercise. both of Mike's parents tour the factory with him. During a display of miniaturisation technology, used to transport chocolate, Mike shrinks himself to a tiny size, and Willy Wonka has an Oompa-Loompa take the Teavee family to the Gum-Stretcher Room to get Mike stretched back to normal. Mike is last seen exiting the factory, now "ten feet tall and thin as a wire" because the Oompa-Loompas had overstretched him. His last name resembles the word TV in connection to his love of electronics.
* ... as The Oompa-Loompas: Oompa Loompas are small humans who were preyed upon by the various predators that reside in their homeland before Wonka invited them to work at his factory. They are paid in their favourite food, cocoa beans, which were extremely rare on their island. The Oompa-Loompas are mischievous, "[thinking] everything's a colossal joke"; they love to play practical jokes and sing songs which, according to Wonka, they are very good at improvising. They sing a song at the end of each child's comeuppance.
