Evil Dead Rise is creeping out of the haunted basement and into theaters subsequent month, however—very like the 2013 Evil Dead remake—it received’t star Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, as a substitute pursuing a brand new continuation of the story. And whereas Campbell himself has said he’s done playing Ash, Evil Useless director Sam Raimi simply tossed a tiny speck of hope to splatter fans who dare to dream that isn’t true.

In an excerpt from a new interview with Empire, the director—whose most up-to-date function was final 12 months’s Marvel entry Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness—defined that there have been, at one time, plans to make good on Ash’s cameo within the Evil Useless remake’s finish credit. “That character [in the reboot], Mia, was nice, so I used to be very . We had been speaking about an ‘Evil Useless IV’ for the opposite department of that universe, and we have been apprehensive a little bit bit a couple of collision,” he mentioned, earlier than name-dropping the series’ much-loved Starz series, which ran from 2015-2018. “Ash vs. Evil Useless is what that morphed into. However I at all times thought there was room for each. I nonetheless suppose there’s room for all kinds of Evil Useless motion pictures. I don’t suppose they cancel one another out.”

The massive draw for Raimi can be reuniting with Campbell and producer Rob Tapert—each of whom labored on Ash vs. Evil Useless—{that a} new venture would entail. “I like working with Bruce and Rob. I find it irresistible as a producer as a result of they’re actually good companions, however I additionally like being supported by them because the director,” Raimi informed the journal. “So I hope that’s on the playing cards finally.”

Raimi, Tapert, and Campbell are all govt producers on Evil Useless Rise, so it’s not like these guys are strangers nowadays. And one other venture involving the trio wouldn’t essentially be one other Evil Useless movie; Raimi positively stored that a part of his reply imprecise sufficient to counsel as a lot. Nonetheless, even with out that Ash vs. Evil Useless sequence finale cliffhanger simply hanging out ready to be additional explored—and past the truth that the present already did “Ash in center age” to perfection—it could nonetheless be, ahem, groovy to see Campbell decide up the chainsaw once more. What do you consider the thought? And can you be trying out Lee Cronin’s Evil Useless Rise when it arrives April 21?
