News Update: Bruce Campbell confirms Army of Darkness 2!

Not too long ago Fede Alvarez, director of the Evil Dead remake, hinted that Sam Raimi (director of the original Evil Dead trilogy) was considering Army of Darkness 2. Indeed since then, these rumors have been confirmed by the man himself. This of course led all fans to question Bruce Campbell's involvement - after all, what would an Evil Dead film be without this boomstick wielding hero?

Well do not fear, as at Wizard World Nashville Comic-Con, the cult treasure and star of Raimi's classics confirmed this excitable rumor. When asked by a fan if he would star in said sequel, he jokingly explained to pundits...

"The last one was twenty-two years ago. I just haven’t been racing to do it. Sam Raimi is just a little bit busy making the biggest movies in Hollywood. I used to be busy. Now I’m not. That’s why I’m here...."

He continued...

"Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some deadite to catch his breath. Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker. That would be alright. Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it.”

Then ending on a more serious note Campbell confirmed, "Alright sir, the answer is yes", admitting to the bright future of this highly sought after sequel. 

Deadites unite - Ash will grace our screens again.
