Wonka – The Prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Introduction
Roald Dahl wrote the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for kids in 1964. In the book, Charlie Bucket and his grandfather go to Willy Wonka’s great chocolate shop with Charlie’s father. The story immediately became a classic, and several movies were made from it. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder in the title part, is the first. The next movie was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Johnny Depp, who is so weird, was in it. That brings us to 2021 when the third live-action movie based on Roald Dahl’s famous book will be announced. Warner Bros. Pictures’ Wonka is a prequel film showing us where the chef came from before he became the Wonka we know today. Here, we will talk about what we know about the movie.

Plot
What Is The Wonka Plot?
Willy Wonka is a strange and clever person. The figure first appeared in the books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, written by Roald Dahl. The candy maker is a mystery to those around him because he always comes up with weird and unique ideas to build his brand. Wonka is a side character who helps Charlie find a new boss for his chocolate business. Gene Wilder played the character in the 1971 movie version of the book. In 2005, Johnny Depp played the role. Even though we know a lot about him as a person, we don’t know much about his past. So, this is where the movie 2023 comes in. The movie will finally explain how Willy Wonka met the Oompa Loompas and why he loves candy so much.
