What is known so far
At the moment, it was revealed that Wonka will be a musical and will be in charge of Paul King, who was the mind behind the two Paddington installments.. Regarding the launch of the film, various rumors claim that it will only be seen on the big screen in 2023. In addition to Timothée Chalamet, the film will feature the performances of Keegan-Michael Key, Sally Hawkins and Rowan Atkinson. However, it has not yet been revealed what role each performer will play in the film. As for the details of the plot, very few are known.
So far, it was confirmed that Wonka will work as a prequel and will be in charge of telling us about the origins of Willy Wonka, the character we all met with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This is not the first time that the famous chocolatier has his own film adaptation, remember that both Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp had the opportunity to bring it to life and surprise viewers with their work. Timothée Chalamet therefore has a great job ahead of him, where he will feel the pressure of comparisons. While working on this musical, the actor revealed that he will not make superhero movies.
