By While Bruce Campbell has retired from playing Ash Williams in live-action, he’s not entirely given up the role.
Speaking with EW while promoting his latest Peacock series “Hysteria,” Campbell confirmed he’s set for more “Evil Dead”.
Specifically he says: “we are developing an animated version, like a series…I’ll do that. I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.”
The actor last played the character over three seasons of Starz’s “Ash vs Evil Dead” series which ended in 2015. The franchise has long ago left behind its cabin in the woods setup so the series could go many places says Campbell:
“We’re out of the cabin, Sam [Raimi] doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to star as Ash. The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity, and it’s people who have no skills to stop it.”
No word how far along it is. The franchise is alive and kicking though with “Evil Dead Rise” a big success last year and more films in development.
