A new Netflix animation based on the iconic character is set to arrive in 2027, and the streamer has just announced a title, casting news and a first-look image (which you can see above) for this film.
However, it's worth noting that this is not Charlie Bucket, the lucky golden ticket winner from the book and previous films. Instead, he's a brand new character called Charlie Paley – and if the synopsis is anything to go by, he sounds rather different from the more familiar Charlie.
The synopsis continues: "Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world. But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley and his friends.
"Facing eviction, this next generation of 'rotten' kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew..."
In a statement, Stern and Bogan said: "Having been raised on the delightfully twisted world of Willy Wonka, it's a privilege to bring his continued adventures to life as twisted adults.
"And how sweet to do it like never before via the magic of animation, creating a Charlie vs the Chocolate Factory that’s more deliciously unhinged than your wildest imagination. If we do a rotten job, you can throw us down a rubbish chute!"
He added: "It's such a fun representation of the London that I know. This new adventure is going to surprise audiences around the world, you’re in for a treat!"
"He is so special to me," he added of Willy Wonka. "And the opportunity to voice such an iconic, eccentric candy genius – if a little mischievous at times – is hugely exciting.”
