I'd normally be against a prequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because I don't think the character needs any background. That said, Paul King and the other names associated (Simon Farnaby, David Heyman, Seamus McGarvey, Neil Hannon) with close links to the Paddington films makes this much more attractive.
Furthermore, Timothee Chalamet is a brilliant actor and I think he could do the role justice.
