Spitting right in the face of that whole “world of pure imagination” thing, Warner Bros. is doing another reboot of Willy Wonka. A few months ago, in an admittedly inspired choice, they set up Paddington and Mighty Boosh director Paul King to helm the project, and now they’ve started the process of casting the rich candy baron who grooms children with sweets. According to Collider, the studio is currently looking at three names on their Wonka shortlist: Donald Glover, Ryan Gosling, and Ezra Miller. As more than 100k Twitter likes (and counting) have confirmed, Janelle Monáe is clearly the better choice, but it seems Hollywood isn’t quite ready to break the glass elevator ceiling.
