The fact that it’s terrifying is the reason to do it.” Two-time Oscar nominee Hawkins is set to star opposite Timothée Chalamet in the “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” origin story movie “Wonka.” The “Shape of Water” alum is also lending her voice to the animated feature “Kensuke’s Kingdom” along with Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe, which is currently in production. “Mammals” premieres November 11 on Prime Video.
