After seeing Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie series, fans couldn't stop imagining Timothée Chalamet in and as Wonka. Finally, the actor teased his first look on social media pages and it's worth the wait. Chalamet posted a photo of himself in a huge brown hat, silk scarves around his neck and a messy red velvet jacket. The actor is standing amid the snow while giving his shot. 

In the second photo, Chalamet shows the iconic stick of Wonka with a purple gift wrapped on top of it. The actor captioned the post stating, "The suspense is terrible, I hope it will last... WONKA."

Interestingly, the caption is a dialogue by Gene Wilder from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. 

Wonka is directed by Paul King which he co-wrote with Simon Farnaby. The film is a prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book which was released in 1964 and penned by Roald Dahl.

Along with Chalamet, the forthcoming film also features Keegan-Michael Key, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman and Jim Carter in supporting roles.
