Mr. Slugworth: We three are the fiercest of rivals, and yet we agree on one thing. A good chocolate must be simple, plain, uncomplicated.
Mr. Fickelgruber: Where as this with all it’s bells and whistles. Well, it’s just…
Mr. Prodnose: Weird.
~ The Chocolate Cartel to Willy Wonka about his chocolate, unaware of it being made with magic.

The Chocolate Cartel are the main antagonists of the 2023 musical fantasy comedy film Wonka, which serves as a prequel to Roald Dahl's 1964 children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and a "companion piece" to the 1971 musical fantasy film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

The Chocolate Cartel consists of Arthur Slugworth, Felix Fickelgruber and Gerald Prodnose respectively.

They are in cahoots with the Chief-of-Police, Father Julius, Bleacher, Mrs. Scrubitt and Miss Bon-Bon. Together, they plot to thwart Wonka and attempt to run him out of business by any means necessary.

History[]

For years, Mr. Slugworth, Mr. Fickelgruber and Mr. Prodnose were the most famous chocolate makers in the Galleries Gourmet. This was because they kept all their chocolate in a secret reserve under the cathedral, run by the corrupt Father Julius, and his “chocoholic” monks. There they kept a book of all their records, and numbers of bribing officials and others, and another book.

Trivia[]

  • According to Wonka director/writer Paul King, The Chocolate Cartel was inspired by Boggis, Bunce and Bean, the main antagonists of Roald Dahl's novel Fantastic Mr. Fox.
    • That said, some viewers can find parallels between the four main members of The Chocolate Cartel and the Four Bratty Kids from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story: Arthur Slugworth is similar to Violet Beauregarde due to his over competitiveness, Gerald Prodnose is similar to Mike Teevee due to overall being a fool despite his claims of grandeur, Felix Fickelgruber is similar to Veruca Salt due to being a classist, greedy opportunist and the Chief-of-Police is similar to Augustus Gloop due to their love for sweets and how they end up being fat.
  • So far, Miss Bon-Bon is the sole member of The Chocolate Cartel to not be a villain, as she just takes care of Arthur Slugworth's appointments as her secretary with no indications if she is aware of his corruption or not.
