Although no official synopsis has been revealed, nor has anything been said by the production company Warner Bros, the possible premise is already known.
Chalamet is characterized as a young Willy Wonka, protagonist of the story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a children's book by writer Roald Dahl that was published in 1964.
That book has been brought to the screen several times. First, in the 1971 classic, in which the great Gene Wilder brought Wonka to life. Then it was Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's turn (you'll never see one without the other), but wonka, the film, is not going to tell the same story again.
Apparently, as if it were the first part of a superhero saga, wonka be a origin story, which will explore the beginnings of Willy Wonka and how he came to become who he is, a famous and eccentric candy maker. These include, of course, the famous chocolate with which he could be seen during a premier of Dune.

Similarly, some rumors suggest that Tim Burton's film may give a clue and will deepen Wonka's relationship with his father. This seemed to be a big factor in how the protagonist came to be who he is.
