We're finally going to get some back story to Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. However, we'll have to wait until 2023. Fingers crossed we get there cuz really, there's no telling. But I digress.
It's set to be directed by Paul King (you know him from Paddington), but so far has yet to be cast.
And on that note I have some suggestions:
Johnny Depp. It doesn't matter he's aged. He's Johnny Depp. We'll go with it.
In fact, he should play every character. He has the range. It's what they did for the oompa loompas in 2005. Just do it with Johnny. For everyone. Trust me on this. I've never been wrong in my life.
