Wonka, the prequel to Johnny Depp’s Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is out and is winning hearts all around the globe. The Warner Bros. Production is yet another dive into the fantasy world of chocolates giving you the ideal ‘Christmas treat’ experience. If the trailer or movie promotions couldn’t convince you to go and watch the film, Hideo Kojima’s unfiltered review of Wonka certainly would. According to Kojima’s innocent confession on X, he has already watched the Timothee Chalamet starrer twice! 

In this dark age of pandemics, wars, and abnormal weather, this film offers the sweet hope of a “dream”. Although it is a classic musical, it is directed by Paul King of “Paddington” fame. The charming characters, well thought-out foreshadowing, and various other elements are melted down and solidified to provide the best Christmas movie ever made. You will be enchanted by Timothée’s sweet singing, dancing, and Oompa-Loompas. It will make you want to eat chocolate,” the developer wrote in the Wonka review.

Receiving a thumbs up from the gaming genius surely would prove to be a huge boost for the movie.

Keeping the new Hideo Kojima favorite experience aside, let’s come back to the buzz around his next gaming venture. 

What’s next from Hideo Kojima? 

The Game Awards 2023 were everything the fans could have asked for. Being called as the ‘final showdown’ of the exhilarating year of gaming, the event certainly lived up to its expectations.

The hardcore fans of the developer know how important OD is for the community. The title teaser took the fans back to the days of P.T. and Silent Hills. A visionary project that met an unfortunate end. Years after the shelving of Silent Hills, Hideo Kojima comes back with a creepy horror game. 


Also, as promised at the announcement, this game is set to bring innovations to the “entertainment industry.” Thus, the hype around OD is understandably high. A launch window is yet to be confirmed by the developers. However, the Xbox game would most likely be released after Death Stranding 2 sees the light.
