Timothée Chalamet is the next Willy Wonka

Those of us who found Timothée Chalamet to be absolutely charming as Laurie in Little Women have a special treat in store.

Deadline reports that he will star in Wonka, a film that imagines the life of Roald Dahl’s famous chocolatier before he opened his factory, and that he’ll get to show off his singing and dancing skills in several musical numbers.

Wonka will be the third Willy Wonka movie from Warner Brothers but the first that doesn’t include Charlie Bucket.
