Your daily pop culture report. It's the Mike Jones Menicon

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'm surprised it took this long that Willy Wonka is
finally coming to Lego. The set was designed originally by
Roberto Kuerti and Jody Patlano, two fans who based it
around the Chocolate River scene in the movie. From the
trees to the mushrooms in the grass. Everything looks bright
and edible just like in the film, and there will
be figures of Willy Wonka and Charlie and all of

(00:27):
the kids, plus up Blumpas of course. The new Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Lego set is out in September.
James Gunn has said that he's open to bringing in
any of the heroes and villains into the new DC
universe if it could work. What about Plastic Man. Rain
Wilson told the crowd at Fanexpo Chicago that he's talked
about Plastic Man with gun a few times, saying that

(00:48):
he's a really fun character and he'd love to play
the role. I could see that. I bet Rain would
do a great job as Plastic Man. Get your daily
