Warwick Davis Stars In Disney Original Series 'Willow'

“Star Wars” alum Warwick Davis is getting another turn in the spotlight in the new Disney+ fantasy original series, “Willow.”

A new trailer was shown to fans at Star Wars Celebration on Thursday morning. The annual fan event is taking place in Anaheim, California this year and runs until Sunday, so there are plenty more future projects for “Star Wars” fans to be excited about.

However, it’s likely to be the only glimpse fans are going to get at the new “Willow” series. We’ll let you watch the trailer below before we get into what the series is about!

As the tweet revealed, the series will debut on November 30 of this year, so fans don’t have too long to wait! The series is being produced by Ron Howard. Warwick Davis stars at the titular Willow Ufgood, a Nelwyn dwarf and sorcerer.

According to IGN, the show is a direct sequel to the original 1988 “Willow” film that it’s based on. The events of the series take place roughly twenty years after the events in the movie. In the movie, an aspiring magician and young girl destroyed an evil queen and banished the forces of darkness. In the new series, three heroines will leave their kingdoms and search for the sorcerer, Willow, to save magic.

As previously stated, Davis will be reprising his role as Willow and Joanne Whalley will return to reprise her role as Sorsha. Ruby Cruz will play Kit Sorsha and Erin Kellyman will play Jade. Jade is reportedly Kit’s best friend who also grew up in the castle and is trying to become a knight. The character “Dove” will be played by Ellie Bamber. Dove is a kitchen maid that’s in love with Kit’s brother.

Believe it or not, Davis’ real-life daughter, Annabelle, will star as Willow’s daughter.

The series will be executive produced by Jonathan Kasdan, Ron Howard, Wendy Mericle, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan.

Some fans who aren't familiar with the original movie assumed that this might be a spin-off of other popular fantasy series, like "Lord of the Rings." One user replied, "Go to Disney Plus and watch Willow right away. You won't regret it. This thing's the sequel."

"I can’t wait for this!!!!" another fan commented. "Willow was my favorite movie as a kid. That poor VHS tape….lol."

"Same," another fan added. "Soooo many memories flooded back with that trailer."

"It's very likely that I'm just a bit more emotional about everything these days, but this...boy howdy, it got me right in the feel," another added. "I need to re-watch the original."

Fans can catch Warwick Davis in the "Willow" sequel on November 30 on Disney+.
