Disney+ launched the teaser trailer for the much-anticipated series Willow during the 2022 “Star Wars Celebration” in Anaheim, CA. The streaming service also released the first three photos from the upcoming live-action adventure series starring Warwick Davis, reprising his role as the title character.
The minute and a half teaser features Warwick Davis as Willow saying, “There is a balance between all things. Light and shadow. Good and evil. When that balance is upset, the universe corrects.”
Willow is a Lucasfilm and Imagine Entertainment production and is based on the 1988 film which starred Val Kilmer as Madmartigan, Joanne Whalley as Sorsha, and Davis as Willow. In addition to Warwick Davis, the series stars Tony Revolori as Graydon, Amar Chadha-Patel as Boorman, Ellie Bamber as Dove, Ruby Cruz as Kit, and Erin Kellyman as Jade.

“An epic period fantasy series with a modern sensibility set in an enchanted land of breathtaking beauty, Willow features a diverse international cast with Jonathan Kasdan, Ron Howard, Wendy Mericle, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan serving as executive producers. 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.”
