Serving as a prequel to Roald Dahl's beloved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka will focus on Willy's life prior to entering the sweetie business.

It's set to be a musical, featuring contributions from The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, and will be directed by Paul King, the man behind the camera on the two excellent Paddington movies.

The rest of the cast is absolutely stacked, too. Rowan Atkinson, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Coleman, Sally Hawkins, and plenty more are all in this movie. Hopefully they're all playing Oompa-Loompas.

Wonka is set to be released in December 2023, clearly aiming for that lucrative Christmas market. Will it hold up against the prior two Chocolate Factory movies? Who knows. Will everyone be uncomfortably attracted to the main character? Absolutely.
