The following contains spoilers for Disney+. Willow.
The long-awaited sequel to the series Willow on Disney+, popular characters are back and several new characters have been introduced. Without a doubt, one of the funniest novelties of Willow was Christian Slater’s character Allagash, a friend and, in a sense, the series director, of Val Kilmer’s late Madmartigan. Allagash’s fate remains ambiguous on the show, but Christian Slater has pondered what exactly happened to his character.
We meet Allagash as a prisoner of some strangely grown trolls Willow and stay back to fend them off so the rest of our heroes can escape. He is hopelessly outnumbered and ultimately defeated, but we never actually see him die. He died? Inhabit? Prisoner again? Nothing else?
I had a chance to speak with Christian Slater and asked the actor if he had any idea what exactly happened to Allagash after his final scene was over. He says it’s been a talking point between him and producer/writer Jon Kasdan. Slater explained…
We certainly talked about it. I know exactly what happened. Jon knows exactly what happened. If we were to go down the road and explore more details, I think that would be great.
The end of Willow not only does he tease that we might get more Disney+ series, but specifically that there could be two more seasons in our future. While there’s certainly no guarantee we’ll see Allagash again, keeping his fate ambiguous was clearly an intentional choice to at least leave that possibility open.
In many ways, Allagash is the Madmartigan of the series, as Val Kilmer was unavailable to reprise his role. We’re told the two were friends and Allagesh is, like Madmartigan, clearly a skilled swordsman, who might even be a little crazy. However, Slater has hinted that of the many possible futures for Allagash, he won’t necessarily end up playing the hero. The actor continues…
A character like Allagash, you are never sure of his agenda. Did he make this sacrifice for a particular reason or for another reason? I have many ideas and thoughts in my head about what may or may not have happened.
Allagash ultimately helps in the finale, but some questions certainly remain as to the exact nature of the motives. Slater indicates that Allagash may have ulterior motives for the decisions she makes.
The first step to seeing what happens to Christian Slater’s character is to get another season of Willow. Clearly, ORlow It works as a series, but nothing has been confirmed at the moment. Streaming series renewals are kind of a black box, so when we find out if there’s more Willow comes is unknown. Allagash is just one of the questions of the first season Willow has left us, let’s hope these next two seasons come sooner rather than later.
