Wonka is a musical prequel with Dune star Timothée Chalamet within the lead function enjoying the chocolatier himself. As we’ve seen the character of Willy Wonka being performed by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp prior to now, we’ve seen totally different model variations of the whimsical inventor. One web consumer identified that the Sizzling Summer season Nights actor as Willy Wonka has an uncanny resemblance to not a earlier Wonka, however to a Muppets Christmas Carol character that I now can’t unsee.
You might bear in mind when the Muppets created one in every of the very best A Christmas Carol variations in 1992? The web consumer who identified on Twitter that Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka seems similar to the Nice Gonzo when he performed Charles Dickens definitely remembers! Now, you gained’t have the ability to unsee this resemblance both as you have a look under.

Similar brown prime hat, crimson coat, and a similarly-designed blue and yellow scarf? Yep, now I’ll be picturing the Nice Gonzo on Timothée Chalamet’s face going ahead. This makes me surprise if costume designer Lindy Hemming actually did take inspiration in The Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s attention-grabbing additionally how the crimson jacket look follows intently to Johnny Depp’s Wonka, but it’s imagined to be a prequel to the unique 1971 movie. I’m not seeing any purple apparel on this younger chocolate man like Gene Wilder’s Wonka did. So, perhaps Hemming was impressed by a Charles Dickens-type look and didn’t notice the similarities between the 2 seems.
When Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka look was first revealed, the web misplaced its thoughts with thirst tweets. I really like how followers go from seeing this younger chocolatier as an attractive human being with these “undressing you” eyes to now being in comparison with a blue muppet. Regardless of the song-and-dance combos the Name Me By Your Title actor will carry out within the film, he’s no blue muppet. The 27-year-old will maintain rank with Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp, who’ve performed the Roald Dahl character in previous display variations. He’s stated earlier than that choosing up the Willy Wonka mantle looks like it’s out of his league. On the similar time, it’s helped him embrace the “weirder” elements of himself that he can convey to the character.
One other vital factor to learn about Wonka is that we’ll be given an exploration of how Willy Wonka ultimately acquired his personal chocolate manufacturing unit. With co-stars Rowan Atkinson, Sally Hawkins, Keenan-Michael Key, and extra, Wonka tells the story of a younger man with massive desires to fill the tummies of the world with delectable sweet they will’t discover wherever else. The primary Wonka trailer introduces us to the magic and surprise of Willy Wonka’s journey with enemies able to cease him. With not less than seven new unique songs, this film musical might have the potential to provide us catchy tunes we will’t get out of our heads as The Biggest Showman did for us in 2017.
Perhaps for now, I can’t unsee the picture of Gonzo on the face of Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka. However, I’m certain all of that may change as soon as I see the 2023 film launch hit theaters in full on December fifteenth.
