When is the Wonka movie coming out? Listen, when we first heard about Wonka, we were all sceptical. At the end of the day, a prequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory sounds like the kind of creatively bankrupt idea you’d see in a comedy movie about how no one has any new ideas anymore.
Then they said that Timothée Chalamet would be in Wonka, and we all gave him a small nod. I mean, Chalamet would be a great choice for anyone to play a young Willy Wonka. Still, we weren’t completely sure. After all, the first family movie is a classic. Then they said it was a musical and was being made by the same people who made Paddington, a modern masterpiece and one of the best movies ever made.
In the movie Django Unchained, Leonardo DiCaprio says, “You got my attention. Now I want to know more.” We wanted to know more, so we looked into this particular Dahl adaptation to see what we could find out. So, here’s what we know about when Wonka will come out.
Wonka Release Date
On December 15, 2023, the new Willy Wonka movie will come out. The movie was supposed to come out in March, but Warner Bros. changed a lot of its 2022 and 2023 schedules.
At the time this was written, the movie was still being filmed in the UK, but most of the Covid-19 rules had been lifted. That means the movie is very likely to come out on its new date.

What Could Happen in Wonka’s Story?
Wonka is a musical that comes before Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was written by Roald Dahl in 1964. At the moment, plot details are kept secret (like a good candy), but we know that the movie will be about a young Willy Wonka before he opens his amazing chocolate factory.
We also know that the movie will have its own storyline and not follow what happened in Tim Burton and Johnny Depp’s versions. So, Willy’s dad won’t be a dentist in this story.
If we had to guess, we’d say that Wonka will show Willy falling in love with chocolate, meeting the Oompa Loompas (let’s hope they update them a bit), and setting up his chocolate factory. They’ll probably be some kind of bad guy, right? Maybe Atkinson will play Slugworth, his rival in the candy business.
Natasha Rothwell, who plays Wonka, did say recently that she hopes the movie will spread some good. She told Screenrant, “I can’t give anything away.” “I feel like by doing it, I gave up everything. But I had a great time. I just got back from making movies in London a few weeks ago.”

“I lived there for five months, and I just think people will like it,” she said. “I think I’m drawn to stories that spread goodness and love, especially after the peak and height of the pandemic. I think that’s at the heart of both Sonic and Wonka.”
