Speaking with Collider, producer David Heyman revealed Paul King’s upcoming Willy Wonka movie will be a prequel exploring the eccentric chocolatier & candy magnate’s secret origins.

We are still trying to figure out how to tell that story, what the story is. It’s a prequel, it’s not a sequel. What makes Willy—when we find him at the chocolate factory doing the golden ticket, where is he before that? What leads him to that place where he’s locked himself away? … It’s how does he get there? So we’re playing around with that.
