The new Willow series on Disney+ sees the return of some actors from the original film, including Warwick Davis (Willow), Joanne Whalley (Sorsha), and Kevin Pollak (Rool). 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. In the show’s fourth episode, the party finds themselves at Nockmaar, the abandoned castle that served as the home of the evil Queen Bavmorda in the film. Bavmorda was played by Jean Marsh in the original movie, but the character’s voice in the new show was actually provided by Ruby Cruz, who plays the daughter of Madmartigan and Sorsha, making her the granddaughter of Bavmorda. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cruz was asked if fans should read further into the choice to have her voice the villain.
