Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell has given some insight into the next two movies in the horror series and where they sit on the franchise timeline – but don’t worry, it’s not going to be too complicated.
“Well, we’re always going to make them pay some respects to the franchise. It’s not even a franchise. This thing came out of really nowhere,” Campbell, who played the original trilogy’s Ash Williams, toldScreenRant.
“It’s been percolating for years in different directions. They just got to pay some homage. And there’s always going to be a threat. So, it’s not George Lucas intricate, you know, Jabba the Hutt and Chapter 9, 10, 11, 12, told in reverse. It’s not that, but there will be some of that. There has to be. Hey, we’re out of the cabin. We’re well out of the cabin now. We’re well beyond Ash. We’re two movies beyond Ash. So, the old guy, no one cares about him anymore. So, it’s fine. It works good.”
The sixth and seventh movies in the series are currently untitled and plot details are still firmly under wraps. All we know so far is that Infested’s Sébastien Vaniček will direct the sixth movie and The Last Stop in Yuma County’s Francis Galluppi will take over for the seventh installment.
