How Disney Picked Up Ron Howard’s Failed Movie

Ron Howard made great films in his later years.

In recent news, Disney is all geared up for the release of Willow. The series will pick up Ron Howard’s 1988 movie Willow and will work as a sequel (kind of) to the original. The series is also in news for being the first Disney work to portray a queer relationship on the center stage.

The series will feature a queer relationship between a lady knight and the princess and will be the center stage for the story to unfold. Warwick Davis will reprise his role as Willow Ufgood from the original Ron Howard movie. Many people took unkindly to Willow and slammed Disney for being too much woke. Willow will premiere on 30th November 2022 and will be available to stream on Disney+.
