Stupid idea

‘PC’ gone too far!

Its.been done so much let Go!!!

Crowbarring in a woman and calling a film a, ‘remake’, is insulting to remakes in general which are already quite the crap as a rule.

Ffs...Wilma Wonka

The world gone nuts

That’s truly boring....

WHY CHANGE WHAT IS ALREADY A GOOD FILM

Does Hollywood not have any new ideas?

She’ll eat all the chocolate and pretend she has only had one bit of it!

Willamena Wonka!!!! No no no no no.

Oh for **** **** etc! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Wynona Wonka?

Piss off leave a legendary film alone

This is an absolute disgrace Surely this is click bait

What are they gonna call it? Fanny Wonka and the chocolate factory?

For the love of God, the clues in the name ‘willy’. So a prequel with a Woman who then in the former films is a man. Will someone please explain to me what the hell is happening in this world ?

No thanks..... Willimena Wonkytits is not a shake up of the story, it’s abusing it. What’s next.... Charlene and the average plastic escalator? The SGD (Small Grumpy Dwarf)? Janette and the Giant Free trade Tomato? Georgina’s marvellous Botox? It wasn’t broken, don’t fix it.

Very offensive to men I say

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

This bullshit needs to end.

Will they explain how she goes from a woman earlier in life to a man later? Actually, I dont want to know. If characters are written as one sex, can't we just let it be?

Offs 🤦‍♀️

Noooooooooo stop changing shit

DTown_172010 Oh COME ON CorruptedPOD

OMG what a load of shit

Fanny Wonka just doesn't sound right

Why? Not how Roald Dhale wrote him.

Not another token bird!

Can’t wait to the new film about will Shakespear. Followed by the remake of to kill and mockingbird with atty finch! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

It’s already done a remake once!!!

Bull shit

Will she be called fanny flicker

Get woke, go broke

Worlds gone past crazy its ridiculous

i won’t be watching it.

piersmorgan will love this I’m sure

Would it be wendy wonka?

If it ain’t broke..,

Charlize Theron? That's not woke enough. Let me know when a thing like this gets to play the role of Willy Wonka.

So does Wilma undergo surgery to become Willy (ironic) at some undetermined point? PC gone mad. He was written as a man. The films were a man he is a man. What’s next? Thelma and Louise remake as Tam and Larry?

They'll be scrapping the concept of Father Christmas soon and changing it to Mother Christmas.

Vaginia Wonka

I guess Hollywood still can't figure out how to give women unique new characters and rolls. Pathetic

PC bullshit

Where is this coming from? To go from such rumored names as Ezra Miller and Ryan Gosling to this?

Yes people will be 'offended' if not!

I get the whole equality thing but if a character or book is written down to be a certain way, leave it. Roald Dahl will be turning in his grave.

Eff off with this woke folk bs!!!!!!

Are they going to call it NO Willy, Wonka?

Oh ffs!

Lol

Can people not come up with original roles for women now? Keep having to piggyback off of male roles? Yeah... That's helping women.

'Get Woke Go Broke'. It's going to be fun watching this tank.

Aw just stop it already 🤬

For what purpose?

No, No,No 🤦‍♀️

We need a Charlie’s Dudes.

🤮

Lord, please no. Why destroy one of the most magical childhood films of its era with trendy wokeness? It's Willy, short for William - not Willemina.

Errrrrr..... WHY !!!

FAIL 🐮

Eh. No one willwatch it

The clue is in his name “Willy” as in he has one!

He was transgender?

Don't bother please leave it alone there are some films that don't deserve a sequel let alone a prequel and certainly any time soon..

Stop this woke virus

It’s going be like ghostbusters when that was done with Women just spoilt it

So Fanny Wonker?

Ruined

Then I want to see Freddy Kruger as a woman and other main male roles played by women, otherwise stop this stupidity.

The ‘Woke Brigade’ at it again 🤬

Are they going to rewrite the book as well?

Hang on, didn't Johnny Depp's one have the back story of him as a boy who's father was a dentist?

So no “ Willy “ Wonka then lol

No-willy wonka

Why it’s called willy wonker ridicules

Look forward to the male version of Cell Block Tango by the all male cast of Chicago

Wonka gave the factory to Charlie Bucket.

Fanny Wonka

The only way this would work if it was about his mum RIDICULOUS

How is it a prequal then. Did he have a sex change?

Wendy Wonka

Milk that franchise 🤑🤮

Ffs

What a stupid idea

Fanny wonka

Johnny Depp ruined it already why kill it altogether

STOP FUCKING WITH THINGS THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE TOUCHED!!!!

Yawn

faykellytuncay It never works. Women can make great films, but you have to play to women's strengths and not put a women in a character designed to play to men's strengths.

No no no,, create a totally new character like willy's sister or something

Willy Wonka had a “willy” end of 😂

No thank you

Why mess with it? It’s a classic! Leave it as it is. If ppl want to modernise things, why mess with classics and re-work. Why not instead use their imagination and write new stories that have the aspects they want to include. Something entirely new, judged on its own merit.

This stuff is never popular, just look at Dr who, why persist with it.

Fuck right off

GetWokeGoBroke

FFS

Vaggie Wonka

Bull shit 🙄🙄🙄

Doesn't sound right to call a woman willy

ridiculous

Surely the next one will have to be a black homosexual.

WTHFK . .

Stop with all the remakes they're all shyte ⛔

Fuck completely off !

Yes

it will be called willyless wonka

I have a dream ,, a world,,,where women go into war,,,and men stays at the kitchen,,,

OMG 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hollywood has zero creativity.

Still waiting the Willy Wonka gengerfluid fox-kin Raelion sect movie, to be honest

What aload of rubbish leave it as it is was bad enough when they had Johnny Depp do it . Nothing beats Gene Wilder 👌

NO No No... Willy wonka is a man.... End of..... genewilder only1willywonka. Ffs let's keep some things original

🤦‍♂️

Just no!

Only a woman That's not good enough!! Can't she be trans?

Lack of a Willy Wonka?

Not learned anything from that Ghostbusters reboot have they?!

ignoring mode = activated

🎶Theres only one Willy Wonka 🎶

Ohhh for gods sake

They didn’t learn from Wokebusters... or Feminator.... whatttta joke.

Why do we need to rewrite everything didn't it work before why not make it with a woman in a wheelchair and a person of colour have I missed anything out

Why

Women ruin everything Especially Sunday roasts

Leave it alone ffs

Lol a prequel? Will it cover him discovering his gender redefinition and sebsequent operation etc. Sounds thrillling! snowflakes

She gonna be called Fanny Flapper ?

What a daft idea, Willy Wonka was a man, you can't just keep changing books to allow a women to take the role. Stupid🤬🤬🤬

Not again!!!! Willy Woka more like

I will see it...
