Willy Wonka could reportedly return to screens as a woman in a new prequel film.
Bosses at Warner Bros. are allegedly considering taking on a female actress to play the role of the iconic chocolatier, after two previous adaptations starred Johnny Depp and Gene Wilder.
It's also been reported that after Warner Bros. acquired the rights to the character from the Dahl estate in 2016, they are in the process of putting together a production team for the film.

Why do we continually need remakes of these movies? I guess it’s to make sure, in this case, that we have both a male and female representation of the lead. How stupid.
To: C19fan
female actress in a "titular" role? Now that would be something to see.
To: C19fan
How about some original ideas and no agenda movies.

Sure. All the other movies recast with women have been blockbusters, after all.

Since the sin the character represents is wrath, perhaps a woman is fitting.
