Timothée Chalamet will play Willy Wonka, the fictional famous chocolatier.

If you ask me, this is the most perfect casting ever, and of course the director of the film agrees with me.

Paul King told People in a recent interview, "I think what makes his performance so good is that he is funny, mischievous, and mysterious."

"He has an incredible emotional intelligence and can bring emotional truth to the role.

Since "Wonka" is a musical, what is wonderful for King is to know that Chalamet is not only a great actor with an already illustrious career, but that he "sings and dances brilliantly."

Moreover, of how Chalamet will play Wonka, King said, "It will be everything people expect it to be and more."

Chalamet will take over the role from Johnny Depp, who played the chocolate maker in 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Gene Wilder, who played the role in the 1971 version. Based on the 1964 novel by Roald Dahl.

As for "Wonka," which premieres in December, it tells the story of how the main character ends up building a chocolate empire, and from the trailer, it looks like a lot of fun. I can't wait.
