Willy Wonka has been one of the most eccentric and quirky characters written in literature. Chalamet is set to star in Wonka, an origin story musical detailing the eccentric candy maker’s life before the events of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Author- storyteller Roald Dahl’s take on the sweet obsessed owner of the world’s biggest chocolate factory has been brilliantly brought to life before by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp and now the baton is being passed to yet another spectacular young actor.
