So you think you know Willow, hmm? You think you’ve seen Warwick Davis and all of his friends already, have you? Well, not anymore with this new Disney+ series. You’re going to need to be familiar with a whole new cast. Luckily, Disney+ Day 2021 is happy to oblige with an entire Meet the Cast video. Check it out below:
New Willow Cast: Have We Met Before?
This Meet the Cast video from Lucasfilm introduces us to the main cast of this new Willow series they’ve planned for Disney+. As the lead actor, we’ve got Warwick Davis, of course. He played the main character Willow Ufgood back in the original 1988 film, and he’s not about to stop now. Unfortunately, he’s it as far as returning cast from the original film is concerned. Fortunately, we have a bunch of new faces to introduce.
First off for the list of new blood for this Willow series, we have Dempsey Bryk. Yes, that is actually his name, and no, we have no idea what roles he played in before. Next, we got Amar Chadha-Patel, who is also a total unknown. Then we have Ellie Bamber (Nocturnal Animals, Les Misérables), who actually has a few big projects to her name. Next up is Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel), who you may recognize as Macro from YouTube. At second-to-last, we have Ruby Cruz, who is also a total unknown as far as previous roles. Finally, we have Erin Kellyman, who Star Wars fans may recognize from Solo: A Star Wars Story, and who Marvel fans may recognize from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That would be it for a new cast for the Willow series. Thanks for reading!
Willow Series: More Details
Wait, don’t touch that dial yet! I almost forgot to tell you: that Meet the Cast video for the Willow series also tells us when we’ll get to see it…sort of. Apparently, this series will hit Disney+ sometime next year in 2022. Yeah, it’s a bit vague, but hey, it’s something to look forward to next year. Along with all the stuff that was delayed to next year too.
