The official premier of Willow on Disney Plus is already the biggest news in fantasy, as fans flock to the magical series in droves. The show sees the return of Warwick Davis in a role he defined more than 30 years ago, as yet another magical world joins the likes of Westeros and Middle-earth. One of the actors set to venture into this world is well aware of the competition posed by massive media properties like the MCU, but Erin Kellyman isn’t intimidated. In fact, she sees a bit of herself — or her character, at least — in one vital villain from Disney Plus’ Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
