Despite Wonka’s critical and commercial success, director Paul King has revealed that a sequel to the Roald Dahl adaptation will only happen if they can “find the right story.”Speaking with Screen Rant, King shared that he would “love to make another Willy Wonka film if we could find the right story.” While Wonka is not based on a specific Dahl story, King pointed out that the famous children’s author repeatedly “came back” to the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for new tales. “He felt there was mileage in it. He’s a storyteller a billion miles above anything I could ever dream up,” King said. “So, there is material to work from. I think if we came back to the character, it would probably be between here and Charlie because there’s 30 years there to explore, so there could be some mileage, but it’s a tough act to follow and it’s a tough act. But there’s got to be the Velvet Night, right?”Wonka, based on the extraordinary character at the center of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, reimagines Willy Wonka as a young man played by Timothée Chalamet, who is chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time. The PG-rated fantasy musical movie also stars Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Jim Carter, Tom Davis, Olivia Colman, Natasha Rothwell, Rich Fulcher, Rakhee Thakrar, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Simon Farnaby, Colin O’Brien, Ellie White, Rowan Atkinson, and Sally Hawkins, with Hugh Grant as Lofty the Oompa-Loompa, and Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, and Mathew Baynton as the heads of the Chocolate Cartel.
