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.

You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!
Indeed. Doctor Who has had strong, and well developed female characters for a long time. Rose and Amy were my favorites. I guess they don't count because they aren't "The Doctor".
Alba is milk chocolate after all...
Why a third remake of a movie that shouldn’t have been made twice?
Titular woman...I thought they all were.
Holy moly. Is this real, not Photoshop? She was out in public in such a revealing dress?
It’ll bomb. Today’s actresses have no depth.
Heather Graham is “Roller Girl” from Boogie Nights.
She is not shy...
Oh, my!
I used to work with a guy who had the hots for Jessica Alba so bad that the rest of us swore that her manager MUST have taken out a restraining order already.
Jessica Alba is a world class smoke show.
I have a strong suspicion that she won’t make the taping...
THere you go, see, Willy Wonka used to be a woman, so in the later movies she became a transgender male. And also an arsehole, if I remember the Johny Depp version.
Torchwood was a very successful spin-off, making it 5 seasons.
It all depends!
Will Willie Wanka be woke? If he’s not woke then Willie Wanka has a willy! If WIllie Wanka is woke then Willie could be Wilma and Wilma Wanka could still have a willy!
Because they’re not done ruining our childhood yet.
The endless remakes of old movies makes this, now rare attender of movies, yearn for the old big movie companies of old where they had writers and composers on staff to come up with ideas for movies. And kept actors and actresses focused on acting and NOT on being political “don’t know it alls.”
“Alba is milk chocolate after all..”
Are you saying she’s partly black?
I believe Alba is of Portuguese descent.
Yes.
It turns out I am incorrect.
