He's still making chocolate, of course.

Looking for a trailer that will satisfy your sweet tooth? Then behold the latest teaser for Wonka, the Willy Wonka origin story starring Timothée Chalamet.

While the latest trailer still doesn't give us a glimpse of the movie musical's songs, it does showcase some brightly colored dance numbers — including a quick look at Willy Wonka's famed chocolate factory.

But before Willy became the world-renowned chocolatier we know from Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he was just a young man with a dream. (And a combination laundry and dog-walking invention he calls "Willy Wonka's Wild and Wonderful Wishy-Washy Wonka Walker.") To make his dreams a reality, he'll have to face down the evil, classist Chocolate Cartel, who refuse to make chocolate accessible to the masses.

On his journey, he'll team up with Lofty (Hugh Grant), an Oompa-Loompa from Loompaland. While the first trailer barely featured Grant at all, this one leans fully into his sassy banter with Chalamet's Wonka. No spoilers, but Lofty does threaten Willy with a cocktail stick.

Helmed by Paddington and Paddington 2 director Paul King, Wonka also stars Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman, and Keegan-Michael Key.

Wonka opens in theaters Dec. 15.
