The fifth episode of Willow was released on Disney+ this week, and it featured the return of a fan-favorite character from the 1988 film as well as the debut of some newcomers. The show has an exciting cast led by Warwick Davis (Willow) and it also includes Tony Revolori as Graydon Hastur. In the new episode, the party encounters Bone Reavers, but they end up being different from what everyone expected. In fact, they all became friends and some of the newcomers had a little fun shaving off Graydon’s beard. Afterward, Graydon revealed he did it to impress a girl only to learn “women like beards.” It’s a funny and cute little moment, but it turns out there was a bigger reason for the scene. Showrunner Jonathan Kasdan took to Twitter today to reveal that Wes Anderson wanted Revolori to be clean-shaved for his upcoming movie, Asteroid City.
WILLOW TIDBIT: for his upcoming ASTEROID CITY, Wes Anderson badly wanted a clean-shaven @TonyRevolori, which was a continuity problem for us. But a little rewrite & a big assist from Charlie Rawes, lead to one of my fave bits in ep. 5, proving “no” is almost never the only answer pic.twitter.com/jyWs2k9ln6
