“The last time I left him he had ambitions to be a sorcerer, to be High Aldwin.
“You have to believe that you are going to see lightning coming from the end of it.
You have to fully commit to it.
As they pieced together the magical scenes, the cast would go to Davis for advice.
They even employed a ballroom dancer to train us in the use of the wand.
It had a very choreographed and graceful manner.
The use of the wand and magic inWillowis a little more gung-ho.
It’s all free-form and improvised.”
Though Davis wasn’t entirely fond of that aspect of the filming.
“I got pretty wet during that sequence,” he adds.
I was like, ‘Why can’t we be on the island doing this?
Why am I standing out here?’
He is exactly the same height as me, very physically able, and not 52.
So, he was able to step in and take all of that for me.”
“They don’t communicate very well.
They can’t really be honest with how they’re feeling.
Of course their first proper kiss would be after a sword fight.”

Everything is not how she expected it to be.

The last we saw of Jade, the loyal knight was ready to give up.
“She’s still a very practical person, and she can’t physically see beyond this point.
She’s, emotionally and physically, completely exhausted.”
But will the fact that Kit took this leap of faith change her mind?
“you’re able to expect satisfying teamwork from our two heroines,” teases Cruz.
“She has nothing to lose anymore.
She’s like, ‘This woman saved my life.
I owe her something.’
But she didn’t have a plan and was aimless.
“And a very creepy Arik is waiting for her.”
Kellyman also marvels at the eventful journey the characters and the show itself have taken.
“The finale is the complete and utter opposite to everything in episode 1,” she hints.
“It honestly feels like a different show at that point.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched anything where the first episode is so different from the last.
You get transported into a whole different world and it’s visual and emotional and it’s incredible.”
The finale ofWillowhits Disney+ on Jan. 11.
