Willy Wonka is getting an origin story in 2023, but will Timothée Chalamet's take on fiction's most famous chocolatier get followed up with Wonka 2?
Quick Links Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The lore and backstory of Willy Wonka is expanding in 2023 when Wonka hits screens in December — and the big-budget feel of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory prequel has already created speculation over Wonka 2 and a possible franchise. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the 1971 adaptation of Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Warner Bros.
Director Paul King spoke in September 2023 about the possibility of Wonka 2 and any further sequels or spinoffs after Wonka . The director of the upcoming Roald Dahl adaptation was candid about his thoughts on a second Wonka movie. He explained that, while Wonka doesn’t directly set up a sequel and is a standalone story, there’s plenty of source material available in Roald Dahl’s unreleased works that could be tapped into for Wonka 2.
Wonka 2 Isn’t Confirmed Wonka 2 isn’t confirmed, at least not yet. Comments from director Paul King make it clear that the story is standalone, and wasn’t created to set up a sequel or franchise. Considering Wonka had a budget of $125 million it’s also likely that studio Warner Bros. is waiting to see how it fares before deciding whether to follow it up with a sequel.
Wonka 2 Cast The cast of Wonka 2 would be led by Timothée Chalamet as Willy Wonka, the genius chocolatier and owner of the titular chocolate factory from Roald Dahl’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Wonka is a prequel to the 1971 movie adaptation Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which starred the late Gene Wilder as the eccentric sweetmaker.
