The actor famously starred as Ash Williams in the original trilogy \u2013\u00a0but is he back to face the Deadites once again? <\/p>
Until now, one of the things all the Evil Dead films have had in common is the presence of Bruce Campbell\u2019s Ash Williams.<\/p>\n
Ash was the protagonist of Sam Raimi\u2019s original trilogy (as well as the Starz TV show Ash vs Evil Dead), and although he was absent for much of Fede \u00c1lvarez\u2019s 2013 reboot he did make an uncredited appearance in the post-credits sequence.<\/p>\n
So, with a new Evil Dead film arriving in cinemas this weekend, you might be wondering if Campbell will be reprising his role again this time around. Read on for everything you need to know about if Bruce Campbell is in Evil Dead Rise.<\/p>
Yes<\/strong>,\u00a0Bruce Campbell does indeed make a cameo appearance in Evil Dead Rise, albeit he is not reprising his legendary role as Ash, nor is he actually seen on screen.<\/p>\n Instead, this time he plays an unnamed priest whose voice can be heard muttering incantations on a record that is played by the kids after they find it next to the Book of the Dead.<\/p>\n Funnily enough, writer\/director Lee Cronin has previously joked he would offer a cash prize to the first person to find the cameo, explaining during an interview with\u00a0Empire<\/a> that \u201cBruce has a small presence in the movie\u201d. He said: \u201cThe first person to figure it out and send me a tweet, I\u2019ll give them 50 bucks.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in an interview with NME<\/a>, he teased that the voice we presume to be a priest could actually belong to Ash after all. \u201cThe fun part is, that\u2019s not necessarily Bruce Campbell playing someone else,\u201d he said. \u201cThat could very well be Ash Williams.\u201d<\/p>\n Big props to fans for the effort, but I\u2019m retired as Ash. #timetofrysomeotherfish<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Di1aeBV0dl<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) April 23, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote>
