With her Solo: A Star Wars Story co-star Warwick Davis already cast and heading up the series, it appears that Enfys Nest actress Erin Kellyman is in line for a role in the Disney Plus Willow series, along with Cailee Spaeny, and Ellie Bamber. The series is looking very much like a Solo reunion with Kellyman and Davis in the cast, Jonathan Kasdan writing the pilot and serving as showrunner and Solo director Ron Howard, Kathleen Kennedy and Michelle Rejwan all on production duties.
According to circulated casting information for the series, it revolves around a group on a mission to save a kidnapped prince. The members of the team include Dove (Bamber), whose backstory resembles that of Willow from the movie. Dove is an unassuming kitchen maid who proves she is the “chosen one” as she embarks on the journey. She is joined by Kit (Spaeny), the princess whose twin brother was abducted. She is destined to be a leader and ultimately the queen. Kellyman plays Jade, a servant who is Kit’s best friend and moral compass. She is on her way to becoming the best young warrior in the kingdom. Also part of the group is a guy who echoes Val Kilmer’s character in the movie. A thief and liar, he joins the quest in exchange for getting out of prison.
