Filmmaker Ron Howard has said that he is in negotiations with Disney for a sequel series to his 1988 feature "Willow" for the studio's upcoming streaming service Disney+.

The original film was directed by Howard from a story by "Star Wars" franchise creator George Lucas. The film follows a dwarf named Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) who is reluctantly forced into playing a critical role in protecting a special infant named Elora Danan from an evil queen (Jean Marsh). A prophecy told that Elora would bring the queen's downfall. Willow is helped along the way by a mercenary swordsman, played by Val Kilmer.
