Freddie Highmore serves 'yummy methamphetamine' in spoof of infamous Willy Wonka fan experience

The disappointed Golden Ticket winners take revenge into their own hands after Charlie's terrible tour: "Let's kill him!"

Freddie Highmore is peeling back the chocolate wrapper on how his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character has been faring in the years since he inherited Willy Wonka’s legendary sweets company in a hilarious new spoof.

While visiting Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday, the actor jokingly debuted the trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Part Two which sees him reprise his role as Charlie Bucket and guide two children on a tour throughout the chocolate wonderland. The only problem? Charlie has given the factory some... unique updates over the years.

“Hello, children! My name is Charlie Bucket and welcome to my chocolate factory,” Highmore declares, before a green screen is yanked down to reveal a shoddy, desolate building that is reminiscent of the infamous Willy Wonka-themed fan experience that took place earlier this year in Glasgow. “Pretty sweet, huh?”

Along their journey through the sparsely-decorated warehouse, Charlie and the children encounter an Oompa-Loompa who offers them “yummy methamphetamine” and the Unknown, a woman wearing a black cloak and silver mask. “I am relieved you see her too,” Charlie mutters under his breath as he leads them away.

When the kids complain that the factory “doesn’t look like the pictures,” Charlie explains that’s because he created all of its pamphlets using the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT. “Everything here is ChatGPT!” He exclaims, before breaking into his very own AI-generated musical number. “Candy is good / Candy is mouth / Sweet is fun / And we love to imagination!”

The despondent chocolatier then confesses to the kids that business hasn't exactly been booming in recent years. “I’m gonna level with you kids: the factory never really took off after Wonka gave it to me,” he explains. “I was 10! I did my best, but I was way in over my head and considering all of that, I’d say, look at this place! I’ve done pretty darn swell.”

The children then request to leave the tour early, only to learn that Charlie has planned to pass the factory onto them.

Their response? "Let's kill him," one of them declares as she grabs a candy cane and begins to beat a screaming Charlie — presumably to death — with a little help from the other child, the last remaining Oompa-Loompa, and the Unknown.
