It was confirmed a few months back that a Willy Wonka prequel film was in the works. Dune’s Timothée Chalamet is set to star as a young Willy Wonka and Deadline has now reported that Keegan-Micheal Key will be joining him.
The Willy Wonka prequel will explore the origins of the candy maker before he opened the world’s most famous chocolate factory. Keegan-Michael Key was recently in Schmigadoon!, a musical comedy series that premiered on Apple TV+ earlier this summer. As a fan of Michael Key, I am fully on board with the new cast addition.
