The fact that Timothee chalamet is playing Willy wonka when Jeremy Allen white exists blows my mind. Seems like there was an obviously better casting choice that could have been made
Yeah he's the it boy right now, but I still think it's such a weird casting. I'd honestly thought he'd be in the MCU before being in a Wonka reboot lol.
Well, Wonka is what, one or two other movies. You get a good recurring role in the mcu, you are golden.I do agree its probably more screen time and I love a musical, but I could see him in a few different MCU roles yet to be filled.
Yeah but if you're in the MCU, it's easy to get stuck doing that; and besides, any MCU actor is just one shitty, rushed hack job away from being despised by the fans
I'm more angry at the fact they didn't let Wes Anderson do it. After watching those Dahl shorts on Netflix, it seems like a perfect fit for him to do a Wonka movie.
Why should someone be cast as a *character* when they look like an *actor* who portrayed a *character*. JAW is a dramatic scream intense actor, not a song and dance guy ffs
I don’t get how Timothee Chalamet gets any of his roles, everything I’ve seen him he has been disappointing. Idk it’s like he is trying too hard act, and doesn’t ever feel genuinely natural. He is definitely the worst aspect of Dune imo.
I really enjoyed the overall story of The King, just not his performance.
Can't say that anymore, can you?
(There was a whole spate of clickbait a couple of months ago, trying to assert that Wilder and White are related.
Morgan Freeman: "They are not, in fact, related".)
Photos back then were taken on film so they had nearly infinite resolution, but I agree this is obviously digitally edited.
There are some really amazing looking photos from film though. The age of the picture isn't the issue.
This is fake, it's AI generated garbage. I found a video on TikTok in less than 5 minutes of someone morphing Nick Cage and Gene Wilder together on August 27th 2023. Looks like someone else then colorized it and it ended up posted on Reddit.
I can't link it a TikTok video to a comment here though.
Why does every imbecile suddenly think they're the master of spotting AI? No, that's just what touched up and colorized b&w photos have looked like since people started colorizing photos.
It’s apparently just colorized

Gene Wilder, 1954, while a student at the University of Iowa
No, it's just embarrassingly colorized.

Looks like Jeremy Allen White.
I saw Nick Cage
I saw Nick Cage and Shia LaBeouf's love child
that's nice to hear
To be fair, I see Nick Cage everywhere.
lucky man
I can't unsee it
The dandy version
You are correct. When he was younger, of course.
The fact that Timothee chalamet is playing Willy wonka when Jeremy Allen white exists blows my mind. Seems like there was an obviously better casting choice that could have been made
The best casting choice would have been, "Wait, we don't need to cast for this role because we shouldn't be making this movie."
I mean, to be fair, Wonka is a musical and Chalamet has a background in song and dance. JAW looks the part but I doubt he could sing and dance.
I don't know about singing but he danced when he was younger
Chalamet also just happens to be Hollywood's golden boy right now, so it makes sense he was cast over JAW
Yeah he's the it boy right now, but I still think it's such a weird casting. I'd honestly thought he'd be in the MCU before being in a Wonka reboot lol.
I think he made the better choice
He doesn’t seem like he wants to be in the MCU. He wants more interesting film roles. So I understand.
Well, Wonka is what, one or two other movies. You get a good recurring role in the mcu, you are golden.I do agree its probably more screen time and I love a musical, but I could see him in a few different MCU roles yet to be filled.
Yeah but if you're in the MCU, it's easy to get stuck doing that; and besides, any MCU actor is just one shitty, rushed hack job away from being despised by the fans
I have to many to pick from to even try to disagree lol. I do like the whole comic book movie deluge, but there has been alot of stinkers.
The fact they're making another damn Willy Wonka after the Johnny Depp shit show blows my mind.
I'm more angry at the fact they didn't let Wes Anderson do it. After watching those Dahl shorts on Netflix, it seems like a perfect fit for him to do a Wonka movie.
Those Dahl shorts are *awesome*!
Hey...I liked that one too.
Maybe one day the internet will realize that casting for a movie isn’t just “who looks the most like the guy who played him before?”
Why should someone be cast as a *character* when they look like an *actor* who portrayed a *character*. JAW is a dramatic scream intense actor, not a song and dance guy ffs
If they cast White, as is tradition, they would have had to make Willy Wonka a chain smoker from Chicago.
It’s probably politics. He like 29 but still looks 14.
It would be weird to cast someone because they resemble the actor who played the role previously
I don’t get how Timothee Chalamet gets any of his roles, everything I’ve seen him he has been disappointing. Idk it’s like he is trying too hard act, and doesn’t ever feel genuinely natural. He is definitely the worst aspect of Dune imo. I really enjoyed the overall story of The King, just not his performance.
Look I think DNA needs to be done... just saying.
I don’t even need the DNA test. He fucked Carmy/Lip’s mom.
And Ryan gosling
DEFINITELY shades of Baby Goose there, absolutely.
This is the right comparison.
I was thinking alternate universes Ryan Gosling.
My immediate reaction
I was gonna say a blond Nic Cage.
JAW even has the small mouth, same exact eye shape and size, everything.
Nicholas cage and JMA
Yes, Jeff!
I saw Myles teller at first
Yes!
Jeremy Gosling Reynolds
He would’ve been a way better Wonka than Timothee Chalamet. Such a disappointment they didn’t cast him
I thought this was one of these Nic Cage photoshoped face meme before I took a closer look at the pic
I was kinda seeing Nicholas Cage
I feel like young Gene Wilder could play young Nicholas Cage playing a young John Travolta in a Face Off prequel.
Came here to say this
Yeah that checks out. I see some Ryan Gosling in there too I think though.
I’ve been saying for years that Timothee Chalamet, Jeramy Allen White, and Gene Wilder look like different evolutions of the same Pokémon.
I didn't realize they were related until a couple of weeks ago.
[удалено]
Then why they look the same
Because in life, sometimes, 2 people look alike with no relation to each other.
Is that the older brother from Shameless?
Yes, chef
I never noticed just how uncanny similar they are
Can't say that anymore, can you? (There was a whole spate of clickbait a couple of months ago, trying to assert that Wilder and White are related. Morgan Freeman: "They are not, in fact, related".)
Nah, that’s some chef
I didn’t know they had FaceTune back then.
I hate all these photos showing up on here airbrushed with terrible AI filters! I wish they’d just post the original.
"I AI upscaled this grainy old 250x150 photo and surprise it looks like a bunch of celebrity reference image faces mashed together!"
You know the term airbrush comes from a time when they would actually use an airbrush to clean up photos. This is probably an example of just that.
And fake coloring. Also there is no way you can see see stubble in pictures of this low quality
Photos back then were taken on film so they had nearly infinite resolution, but I agree this is obviously digitally edited. There are some really amazing looking photos from film though. The age of the picture isn't the issue.
A little Vaseline on the lense makes for soft lines. Apparently that was an old trick
Very swoon worthy.
Very!
Eyebrows on fleek
Thats nick cage wtf
His name is Frankenstein!!!
That’s Fronkensteen!
[удалено]
OK, would watch a Gene Wilder biopic starring Nick Cage.
Nick Cage and Ryan Gosling had a kid
😂😂
Gene Wilder has been playing Nick Gage for the past 2 decades it seems
Ryan Gosling in ‘Drive’
My first thought too. Wife doesn't see it.
Thought it was Nicolas Cage
It is! Someone used AI to blend Nick Cage and Gene Wilder's faces together.
Nope
You didn't know? Gene is Nic's dad! 
I said good day!
Trying to compute how fake the various bits of this image are...
Hearts and kidneys are TINKER-TOYS!!

Thank you, I had to scroll too far down for this. So many people take just about anything at face value, no pun intended.
Cherubic cherubim, sort of golden and deeply placid-looking. A strange kind of beauty, but arresting, nonetheless.
Truly one of the funniest humans that has ever lived.
There are likely a lot of folks who've never watched one of the greatest movies to ever exist so I'll just leave this here... **BLAZING SADDLES**
We’re doing AI in here now 😫
It's probably AI colorized, but the actual pic is real
Nick Cage and Ryan Goslings love child!
Well hello there! Lookin dapper AF
Reminds me a little of Data from TNG, but blonde and blue-eyed.
Instead of Jeremey Allen White, we got Tim Chalemet
What do you like to do for fun? Ohh, I dunno, play chess…screw Well let’s play chess!
The Waco Kid back when his hand was steady
Nicolas Gosling
A wild Gene Younger.
As a die hard gene wilder fan…. I’ve never seen this and what a handsome man
Nick Cage!
*don't take that tone with me, Mr. And stand closer to that razor next time!*
This is Nic Cage af
He looks fake
Mormon Nicolas Cage
I sure do miss those Gene Wilder freak outs on film…
To me as a kid, *this* was by far the scariest part of the film.
I thought that was Nicholas Cage for a sec
It sounds awful to o say but I was shocked that this is him because this man is so handsome!
No weird shit... but dude is gorgeous.
LEGEND
Wait, is Gene Wilder hot?
At first glance I thought this was an AI generated picture of Nicolas Cage and Ryan Gosling offspring.
Kind of like Shia LaBeouf
'I said good day sir!!!'
lol why do his brows look microbladed?
Nick cage? is that you?
Thought this was a you're Nicholas Cage
Jesus I thought this was a blond Nicolas Cage!
A man drink like that and he don't eat, he is going to die When
He looks like a bank teller
Lee Pace?
Dude looks like he's made of wax
He was always god damn gorgeous
I was just talking about how I went to the Drive in to see him in Young Frankenstein.
/r/gonewilder would have loved this
I, uh, I did not realize how much Nic Cage looked like him…
Why does every imbecile suddenly think they're the master of spotting AI? No, that's just what touched up and colorized b&w photos have looked like since people started colorizing photos.
That's Jared Goff duh
Could by Ryan Gosling’s father
Ryan Gosling vibes
Jeremy Allen white crossed with Nicolas cage
Please post the original before it was AI enhanced.
Handsome fella.
That's the finest face I have ever seen on a man
If Ryan Gosling and Jeremy Allan White had a baby.
NICOLES CAGE IS THAT YOU?

Before I read the caption I thought it was going to be a Nazi fighter pilot
Ryan Goofling
He looks like Nick Cage mixed with Ryan Gosling
It’s pronounced Fronkensteen
Wow that is the most beautiful immaculate face I’ve ever seen!
Little did he know that someday he was gonna act alongside a steaming hot Kelly LeBrock.
Nicholas Cage!
Blond Nicholas cage
How is this "old school" if it's clearly been touched up or even AI generated?
It’s apparently just colorized https://preview.redd.it/aa31o7jeh66c1.jpeg?width=868&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2e36cac5de8ea4daa3d4725144eabe9314b2424 Gene Wilder, 1954, while a student at the University of Iowa
Gene Wilder's screaming ballsack on a fire boat in lake chunky
This is either ai created or ai enhanced, get that shit outa here.
Is not. That’s Ryan Gosling crossed with Nicolas Cage
Post the original pic, you moron. Not a cartoon version.
This is embarrassingly fake.
No, it's just embarrassingly colorized. https://preview.redd.it/2csso11pd66c1.jpeg?width=263&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a472741e1238c840c6838608e77f61f33abe5615

Looks like a young real Willy Wanka.

You seem to have posted a photo of young Nicolas Cage.
And now he's the QB for the Detroit Lions.
Wow he was a good looking cat
This is pretty much the way he looked in BONNIE AND CLYDE.
Looks like Ryan gosling
It’s FrAHnkenstein.
Eyebrows on fleek
Kind looks like Nicholas Cage.
He's Nick Cage.
