Willow Star Voiced Surprising Movie Character in Previous Episode

Willow's Ruby Cruz played another surprising character in the show...

The new Willow series on Disney+ sees the return of some actors from the original film, including Warwick Davis , Joanne Whalley , and Kevin Pollak . There have also been some characters that have returned in a small way, including Val Kilmer's Madmartigen. In last week's episode, Kilmer and Whalley's real-life son, Jack Kilmer, provided Madmartigan's voice in a scene, and that's not the only interesting voice role from the series.

"I remember doing my ADR for four and Jon [Kasdan] just being like, 'Hey, so we need this Bavmorda voice. Do you just want to do it?' And I was like, 'Sure,'" Cruz shared with a laugh."So it was spur of the moment, but it was actually really fun to do. I just listened to a little recording of [Jean Marsh's Bavmorda from the 1988 film] and started playing around with it. I think it's so funny that they actually used it. So I don't know.

How Did Top: Gun Maverick Inspire Willow?While Kilmer isn't expected to show up in Willow as Madmartigan, he was seen reprising his role as Tom"Iceman" Kazansky in Top Gun: Maverick earlier this year. Showrunner Jonathan Kasdan recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that Kilmer's role in the Top Gun sequel served as inspiration for Willow.

"Not only did it give us food for thought, but my executive producer, Tommy Harper, was the executive producer of Top Gun: Maverick, so he worked with Val then," Kasdan explained of the film."I had already met Val when we were setting out to do this thing. We've been talking pretty consistently every day of our lives about how to bring Madmartigan back and how that character can continue to live within the Willow universe.
