There's no Madmartigan in Willow (2022 series) because Val Kilmer couldn't travel to Wales to film due to COVID-19 restrictions, despite his and the creators' desire for him to be in it, leading to his character being missing but central to the plot, with hints of his return and a cameo from his son.
As a punishment, Madmartigan was put in the crow's cage at the Daikini crossroads where he was left to die of thirst.
Willow Ufgood returns, as does Sorsha. They join a cast of new characters, including Sorsha's children with Madmartigan, Kit and Airk. Madmartigan himself, however, has not appeared in the series. Despite that, we do hear about Madmartigan and even get introduced to an imposter in the series.
"We were prepping in the spring of the year that it was most happening. And Val reluctantly didn't feel he could come out." Kilmer, 62, starred in the original 1988 film as a disgraced knight who helps sorcerer Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) save the life of Elora Danan.

Actors Who Are Difficult To Work With
The idea that Seth Green left for creative reasons is a lie. Green left because he wanted to pursue a film career and Whedon even intended to keep his character around longer.
Madmartigan lost all his grace among friends and family. He abandoned his friends at Land's End and was imprisoned in a cage at the Daikini Crossroads where he was left to die of thirst before being freed by Willow Ufgood.

When Tara and Willow meet, their proficiency at magic is about the same, but Tara's knowledge of the craft far exceeds Willow's. Tara reveals that she has been practicing magic for most of her life, as her deceased mother had also been a powerful witch.
What began as professional chemistry quickly evolved into an off-screen friendship full of laughs, pranks, and late night heart to hearts. Kilmer, known for his sharp wit and magnetic screen presence, was surprisingly gentle and deeply respectful toward Davis, admiring his courage, humor, and strength in the industry.
Madmartigan would prove a forerunner of iconic fantasy-adventure hero characters in succeeding decades. Although Kilmer did not appear onscreen in the 2022 Willow series, Madmartigan's presence was keenly felt in the form of Kilmer's son, Jack (whose mother is Kilmer's Willow co-star, Joanne Whalley).
