Christian Slater has joined the cast of the DisneyPlus Willow sequel series.
The magic is continuing to grow for Disney+'s upcoming Willow series, the sequel to the beloved fantasy film of the same name. At today's D23 film and television showcase for Marvel and Lucasfilm, it was revealed that Heathers and Mr. Robot star Christian Slater will be joining the cast of the sequel series in an unknown role, alongside Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley, Erin Kellyman, and Ellie Bamber.
The Willow series follows the titular sorcerer, a Nelwyn named Willow Ufgood who discovered when he was just a boy that he was capable of great magic, saving a young child from the clutches of an evil empress so that she could fulfill her destiny to one day become empress. Now that Willow is an adult, and the baby is too, it's up to Willow and a group of new, young adventurers to fend off new threats to th kingdom, and prove again that good conquers evil, no matter what.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While details of Slater's role in the series are being kept under wraps, Davis, who appeared at the D23 panel alongside Slater, said that the star's performance was full of dynamism and energy — as is appropriate for someone coming into a story so full of magic and wonder.
"I knew that Willow had an advantage that I don’t think Star Wars did, which is that…the McGuffin of the story is a baby.
