'Willy Wonka' Movie Eyes These 3 Stars for Possible Title Role Casting - Vote For Your Choice!

Warner Bros’ Willy Wonka movie is underway and casting for the title character has apparently come down to three “shortlist” candidates.

Collider reports that Ryan Gosling, Donald Glover, and Ezra Miller are the three front runners, though nothing has been confirmed.

Paddington director Paul King is attached as director, with writer Simon Rich also attached. The rumor is that the movie will be a prequel that is an origin story for the beloved Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory character.

The role has been famously played by Gene Wilder in the 1971 movie and Johnny Depp in the 2005 movie.
