Fan CastingWONKA AND THE JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN (2027)

Willy Wonka goes on a journey to build his factory, he visits Loompaland, however it's in chaos. An ancient threat has returned in the form of a terrifying creature called the “Sugarthorn,” which preys on the precious cacao trees and threatens the entire ecosystem. The Oompa Loompas, while peaceful and ingenious, struggle to protect their home from this menace. Wonka, in his quirky and daring fashion, offers to help. As he learns their ways—part botanical science, part ancient magic—he forms an unlikely alliance with the Oompa Loompa chief, Umik, and his daughter, Uma. Together, they must find a way to defeat the Sugarthorn before it consumes everything. As Wonka bonds with the Oompa Loompas, he discovers the secret to their survival: their ancient songs and rituals are more than just tradition—they hold the power to manipulate the natural world around them. These songs, paired with the magical plants of Loompaland, are the key to creating Wonka’s ultimate candy recipe. But first, he must prove himself worthy by helping them save their home.
