Warwick Davis Enthusiastic About Possibility For ‘Willow 2′

Published by Shawn Adler on Friday, June 13, 2008 at 1:46 pm.

Warwick Davis John McClane did it after 12 years. Indiana Jones after 19. Long-delayed sequels starring aging action stars are all the rage these days, but could the biggest future action star on the planet actually be…the smallest?

Well, no, not officially anyway – but it won’t be for lack of desire on the part of Warwick Davis, the 38-year-old actor told MTV News, insisting that he’d love to come back for another “Willow.”

“I would definitely greenlight a ‘Willow’ sequel. So many people ask me about that. Every day people want to see another movie,” he said. “I’d be very excited for it, because I was 17 when I did that movie and to go back and have another chance at the character now. I’ve learned so much more, it’d be great.”

In point of fact, there have been three “Willow” sequels already – each written by Chris Claremont from a story by George Lucas. They form what is known as “Chronicles of the Shadow War Trilogy,” and their reception…well, people hate them. A lot.

But forget all that silly nonsense about dragons and whatnot. Davis says he’s already got an idea about where he’d like to see the sequel go.

“I would like, perhaps, [to see] my kids grown up. I’d like to meet up again with Madmartigan [Val Kilmer], see how he’s getting on. See how everything might have gone wrong with the princess who’s grown up, see how her life turned out,” Davis enthused. “But I think [most of all] plenty more action! Now they have CG. Imagine what we could do with special effects now compared to 20 years ago!”

In fact, so excited would Davis be at the prospect of another “Willow,” he really only has one stipulation.

“No horseriding,” he laughed.

Would you like to see another “Willow”? If so, what should the story be? Sound off on your thoughts below.

I'd love to see a sequel and have been waiting for it for years! Let's hope Lucas doesn't #%#?* that one up too if it ever gets made.

I adore Willow.

I think, that if Fin Raziel were to be in the movie, it would have to be a much younger version, as if she had regained her youth through magic. Jean Marsh could reprise her role as Bavmorda by living in the Nether realm. Willow the sorcerer and other characters could attempt to stop Bavmorda from ressurecting.

I would love, love to see another Willow movie. Maybe even a three year long t.v.series doen in an epic style. I know that George Lucas is interested in doing some television series. But Willow on the big screen is something that i am hoping will happen. I would not like to see Bavmorda return, but have other interesting evil characters and make this as grand as the Lord of the Rings films.

I'm not big on a sequel for Willow but am open to the idea, I absolutely adore the first film and it's pretty good as it stands so I don't really see a need for a sequel. I don't agree with the above comment that Willow 2 has to be necessarily as "grand" as LOTR but the latter's presence does make it difficult for the average movie-goer not to immediately start comparisons. I think what fans most likely would want to see is how Willow's skills have progressed, what Elora Danan grew up to be considering her life was SOOOO important in the first film and what became of Madmartigan and Sorsha. I believe the basic plot should again incorporate Elora and Willow primarily, perhaps she is again required to play an important part in preventing a great evil arising and seeks out Willow to help her cause.
