'Wonka' will be Warner Bros' third film inspired by Dahl's classic novel 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. The first big screen adaptation, that came in 1971, starred Gene Wilder as Wonka, while the second movie, released in 2005, featured Johnny Depp in the role. Both the films followed a poor boy named Charlie Bucket, who wins a golden ticket to tour the world-famous and heavily guarded chocolate factory. "Wonka" is scheduled to debut theatrically on March 17, 2023. PTI
