Christian Slater reveals he got a black eye while filming Willow.
The first season of Willow featured some returning cast members from the original 1988 film in addition to a lineup of exciting fresh faces. In addition to the young cast of newcomers, Hollywood staple Christian Slater also appeared in an episode as Allagash, a character who fought alongside Madmartigen in the Battle of Land's End. Slater has talked a lot about his time on the Disney+ series and even compared it to some of his past projects.
"Yes, yes, that did happen," Slater shared with a laugh. While Slater does tussle with Amar Chadha-Patel's Thraxus Boorman in the episode, the actor didn't want to reveal if it was Chadha-Patel that gave him the black eye."I'm afraid to confirm or deny. I don't want to get anybody in trouble, but you know, look, it was a very physical, active [production]. He and I were going at it.
Did Christian Slater Speak To Val Kilmer About Joining Willow?Last year, Val Kilmer reprised his role as Tom"Iceman" Kazansky in Top Gun: Maverick but he was unable to do the same for Disney+'s Willow series. The actor played Madmartigen in the film, but after struggling with his health, filming the series during COVID was too risky and they ended up having to write the actor out of the show.
"I did, yeah," Slater said when asked if he talked to Kilmer about Willow."He's obviously in a very difficult situation, but I just expressed my love. And I certainly let him know that the spirit of Madmartigan was going to be running all the way through these eight episodes. It was just amazing to be on set and get the vibe and the sense of how appreciated and loved he is as an actor. So he was such a part of this, even though he wasn't physically able to be there.
Slater said of joining the series,"I was a huge fan of the movie. I fell in love with Val Kilmer and his energy and what he brought to the movie was just fantastic. Warwick [Davis] and I are also friends. We've crossed paths a lot in our history. We did a production of Spamalot at the Hollywood Bowl about five years ago and we had a total blast together. So when I heard about a Willow series, I thought, 'Oh, this is interesting. This is unexpected.
