Willow Trailer, Casting Update

Willow is based on the movie of the same name that tracked a farmer who goes on an epic adventure to keep a much sought-after infant girl out of the clutches of the evil Queen Bavmorda. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the high-stakes adventure continues when an unlikely group of heroes set off on a perilous new quest involving Shorsha’s daughter.

Shorsha was the daughter of Queen Bavmorda in the original movie. The new Willow trailer shows her daughter searching for Willow to recruit his magical help in the search for her kidnapped brother. Davis reprises his role as Willow Ufgood, and Joanne Whalley returns as Shorsha. Davis announced during the D23 presentation that Christian Slater has been cast in the series. Slater will play a friend of Val Kilmer‘s Madmartigan, but no further character details have been revealed.

Willow premieres Wednesday, November 30 on Disney+. The cast includes Ruby Cruz (Mare of Easttown) as Kit, Erin Kellyman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Jade, Ellie Bamber (The Serpent) as Dove, Amer Chadha-Patel (The Third Day) as Boorman Dempsey Bryk, Tony Revolori (Servant), and more.
