It's now been 30 years since the world was invited to fall in love with Warwick Davis for the first time and strangely, it looks like we might be getting a continuation of the role that really launched his career.

In 1988, Ron Howard and George Lucas made Willow, starring Davis as a dwarf who aspires to be a sorceror and who embarks on an adventure with Val Kilmer's warrior to save a baby from jean Marsh's evil queen. The original is a cult classic and you can see the appeal in a post-Game Of Thrones world to revisit the fantasy universe.

That said, like the Dark Crystal revival, it's a strange place to return after so long no matter how many fans the original had. But the decision to make it as a series for Disney+ (as announced recently) is probably a smarter one than putting it out to cinemas.
