fit in to the actor , it was King who further him to do something more “ cop - ish ” for the part , top to Key ’s accent selection . Check out the full quote from Key below :
I tell apart the director , I said I can do a British accent . [ In British speech pattern ] : If you ’d like me to do a British stress I can do it , if you ’d like . If you desire me to be British , I can do it , I can be British .

Keegan-Michael Key’s Wonka Character Explained
Though Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompa fellow traveler are conversant nerve in the world ofCharlie and the Chocolate Factory , many ofWonka ’s characters are raw introductions to the world . This includes that of Key , who start the Chief of Police in the film . As seen in theWonka ’s trailers , this Chief of Police character place out to forbid Willy Wonka from selling any chocolate .
Key ’s accent is an almost caricature version of a New York bull , but the actor does not necessarily stand out like a painful thumb . WhileWonkatakes shoes in Britain , Willy Wonka himself is American , and he is joined in his American accent by several other characters from the film , admit Calah Lane ’s character of Noodle . Surrounding Wonka and Noodle include a smattering of British accents fromWonkaactors such as Hugh Grantand Olivia Colman , make central portmanteau word into the crew more than he would if the accent were homogenous .
Still , the cartoonish nature of the Chief of Police character is not lost on Key ( nor Kimmel ) . Notably , King ’s pick of accent for Key was due to his wanting to characterize the Chief as not a “ police military officer ” but a more American copper . Hopefully , this selection can highlight the fibre ’s over - the - top nature and work out as a funny addition toWonka .
