Wonka Timothee Chalamet
Warner Bros.

Haven’t you all the time puzzled what occurred in Willy Wonka’s life that made him act out so outrageous and terrifyingly? Or possibly you simply actually wished to eat an edible teacup. Whatever the matter is, you’ve in all probability seen Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory or learn the novel as a baby, and now you’ll get to see a complete new facet of Wonka. Hopefully, it’s not this facet.

In Wonka, followers will see the origin story of Roald Dahl’s well-known quirky chocolate maker/tried baby kidnapper. Timothee Chalamet performs the character on this new story, written by Paddington’s Paul King.

Even although Wonka is from Dahl’s novels, Warner Bros. purchased the rights to the character again in 2016, and now Chalamet will get to don that signature tophat. Here is the official synopsis:

Based on the extraordinary character on the middle of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic youngsters’s guide and one of many best-selling youngsters’s books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world’s best inventor, magician and chocolate-maker grew to become the beloved Willy Wonka we all know at present.

So, yes- Wonka is a prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, although it might stand by itself. King informed EW, “What I wished this film to be was like a companion piece to that film. If you think about these folks in that world 25 years earlier, that was my beginning course of. Eventually, he would develop into that particular person and that manufacturing unit.”

The filmmakers had been initially fascinated about Ryan Gosling to play the titular chocolatier, however he had different plans on the horizon. Timmy will probably be nice, although!
