Wonka is a new movie that everyone is looking forward to. It will be about Willy Wonka when he was young, before the events of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Paul King is in charge of making the movie, and both he and Simon Farnaby wrote the script.
Since Johnny Depp played Willy Wonka in a movie in 2005, this will be the first time we’ve seen him on screen. Before that, in 1971, Gene Wilder played the part. But both of these showed Wonka after he already owned the chocolate factory. In the new movie, we’ll see who he was before he owned the factory.
