"Now, lets see what the damage is this year, shall we?"
— Wilbur's most famous quote in the 2005 movie.
Dr. Wilbur Wonka is Willy Wonka's father and a major character in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). He is not a character in the original book and he does not appear in the 1971 version, but he is similar to Slugworth who was in the 1971 version.
