Remember Willow? Ron Howard's 1988 masterpiece about a reluctant farmer (Warwick Davis) who gets roped into a journey with Madmartigan (Val Kilmer) to save a special baby and their realm from the tyrannical Queen Bavmorda? It's full of plenty of faeries, trolls, sword fighting, and people transforming into pigs, and apparently we'll all go back to the wondrous world of Willow soon since Howard is bringing a series based on the film to Disney+.
Howard originally directed the movie based on a story by George Lucas, and while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he revealed that writer Jon Kasdan has been "hounding" him about a reboot.
"I think it'd be a great way to go," Howard said. "In fact, George always talked about the possibility of a Willow series, and it'd be great and more intimate, and built around that character and some of the others. And Jon Kasdan has, I think, an inspired take on it and it could be really, really cool."
Nothing is official quite yet, but Howard also mentioned that Warwick Davis would return as the titular Willow.
