Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm debuted several exciting teasers during Saturday's D23 presentation, but one trailer that seemed to get a bit lost in the shuffle was a brand-new sneak peek for the Willow Disney+ sequel series.
Set 20 years after the events of George Lucas and Ron Howard's original fantasy adventure, this follow-up will focus on the titular Nelwyn sorcerer (the returning Warwick Davis), his daughter (Davis real-life daughter Annabelle) and a new group of adventurers as they embark on a journey to "correct the balance" between good and evil.
Joanne Whalley will reprise her role as villain-turned-hero Sorsha from the 1988 movie, and she joins previously announced leads Ellie Bamber, Tony Revolori, Cailee Spaeny and Erin Kellyman, and Rosabell Laurenti Sellers.
In addition, Davis announced that Christian Slater (Mr. Robot, Young Guns 2) has joined the ensemble, but didn't reveal which role he'll play (his character doesn't appear in the trailer). Fans will also be delighted to see that Brownies Rool (Kevin Pollak) and Franjean (Rick Overton) will return.
Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
The story began with an aspiring magician from a Nelwyn village and an infant girl destined to unite the realms, who together helped destroy an evil queen and banish the forces of darkness. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world.
Willow is set to premiere on November 30.
