Zach Galligan, who starred as Billy Peltzer in the Gremlins films, will have a recurring guest role in Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, it was revealed during the show’s panel at Comic-Con on Friday.
The animated prequel series will debut on HBO Max next year and later on Cartoon Network.“I can’t say too much but because it’s 1920s China, I’m not playing Billy because he wasn’t around,” Galligan shared following his surprise appearance on the panel. “So I’m playing this cool character.
