Twitter Has Spoken — Johnny Depp Was A Better Willy Wonka Than Gene Wilder

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Whether you agree with it or not, fans are convinced that Depp ended up playing a much better part than Wilder, especially when looking at the original source material.

The conversation on Twitter, as usual, became quite heated, but really, it's all about personal taste and opinion in the end.

Both Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp are some of the greatest actors of all time.

So the fact that they were both in successful movies that tackled the same subject leads people to ask one thing: who is the better one?

It all started with a simple question: who was the better Willy Wonka.

While in the replies you'll see an enormous amount of people saying Gene Wilder, it was Johnny Depp who ended up taking a spot on the trending page!

Fans were pointing out that for simple nostalgia, it was good to remember Wilder, but the better actor (in their opinion) was actually Depp.

After all, regardless of how people personally feel about him, Depp is regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time.

While the division on Twitter is still going on, more and more, Depp fans are pushing for others to acknowledge that he played the better Wonka.
