While earlier reports indicated that Willow would get a second life on Disney+ as a TV series, original star Warwick Davis is now saying that nothing has been set in stone.
Speaking to Inverse, Davis, who was reported to be reprising the role of the titular Willow in the new project, discussed how, despite significant development on the project, nothing has received a green light.
"The internet has got a little bit ahead of us here," he said. "There's a lot of work on development and working out what this potentially could be, but there's no definite green light, go, we're doing this. There's a lot of work going on. The right people have come together. There's a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of goodwill from the right people and also from the fans. I think that's what's really so heartwarming is the enthusiasm from people around the world. So, yeah, no definite news there. I think there's a firm chance that this is going to be something that becomes a reality. Definitely."
The original movie was directed by Ron Howard, written by George Lucas and Bob Dolman, and starred Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley and Jean Marsh. Unlike Lucasfilm's other franchises, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Willow never had any follow-ups or spin-offs, aside from a 1989 video game adaptation developed by Capcom. There was also a sequel novel trilogy, Chronicles of the Shadow War, published from 1995 to 2000, which was written by Chris Claremont and George Lucas.
