Moving beyond the flamboyant Oompa Loompa diva, a standout success from the viral Glasgow Willy’s Wonka Chocolate experience spectacle is the enigmatic antagonist referred to as The Unknown with many wanting to known the actor’s name
The online fascination with videos featuring The Unknown stems from the unprecedented appearance of a spooky masked figure emerging mysteriously from behind a mirror, reminiscent of an A24 horror film—a departure from the conventional Wonka narrative.
Who is actor who played ‘The Unknown’ villian in the Glasgow Willy’s Chocolate Experience immersive event as video goes viral on Twitter/X
Speaking on TikTok, actor Jain Edwards claims she was the one who played The Unknown at the Glasgow Wonka experience. However, many have refuted the actor’s claims and refuse to believe she was the person behind the role.
“I thought I’d do a quick video because I was the actor who was hired to play The Unknown in the Willy Wonka Glasgow experience. It was kind of funny because just before the doors opened I took my mask off and I said ‘mate, what do us actors get ourselves into?’ I think I looked cool.”

Delving into the depths of who The Unknown is, here’s an exploration of the character crafted to instill terror in entirely new ways within the Glasgow Wonka universe.

The unsettling presence of The Unknown is essentially attributed to the script’s necessity for a villain in the Glasgow Wonka debacle. The character’s backstory unfolds as follows: The Unknown is a malevolent chocolate maker and rival of Wonka, dwelling within the walls.
A perfectly suitable narrative for children, one might jest. The complete PDF script for the entire show unveils The Unknown’s emergence within a segment titled The Twilight Tunnel.
Here, The Unknown Induces fear and screams in children, as Wonka addresses the adventurers, proclaiming, “My dear adventurers, we stand on the precipice of a discovery most wondrous and perilous. For within these ancient walls lurks a tale not yet told, of an evil chocolate maker known only as the Unknown.”

The Unknown’s objective is to pilfer Wonka’s ‘anti-graffiti gobstopper,’ displaying a penchant for the sordid and the unclean. Attempting to recruit a child for assistance, The Unknown sets the stage for a climactic showdown.
In this final confrontation, Wonka and The Unknown engage in battle, culminating in Wonka “hoovering up” The Unknown with a vacuum—an improvisation directed by the actor portraying the iconic character.

Recognizing their appearance as a blend of The Babadook and the masked character from Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, it’s noteworthy that The Unknown is portrayed by a youthful actor who plans to share her perspective through a forthcoming TikTok video.
Upon contemplation, could The Unknown truly be considered a villain? Their timid demeanor and residence within the walls suggest a possibility that they might simply be in need of companionship.
