Bruce Campbell Says He’s Officially “Retired as Ash” and That’s Sadly That, Folks

Published

Just two hours ago, I wrote up an article rallying fans of the Evil Dead franchise to encourage Netflix to pick up “Ash vs. Evil Dead” and bring it back to life in the wake of last week’s cancellation, hopeful that our passion for the Starz series could potentially lead to Netflix busting out the shovel. It seems that’s all in vain, however.

In direct response to the aforementioned article we published earlier today, Bruce Campbell himself just hammered the final nail into this particular coffin…

It would seem, based on this tweet, that Campbell is moving on from Evil Dead both because he kinda has to in the wake of the Starz news but also cause he just plain wants to at this point in his life and career. The way I’m reading the tweet, Campbell wouldn’t even be on board if Netflix wanted “Ash vs. Evil Dead,” so that’s kinda that.

Mind you, the Evil Dead franchise could certainly come back to life in a different form, perhaps with remake character Mia or even some of the other characters from the “Ash vs. Evil Dead” television series, either on the big screen or the small screen, but it sounds like we’ve truly seen the last of Ash Williams. For real this time.

This Sunday night’s series finale is Ash’s final battle. So enjoy it, Evil Dead-heads.

Star Wars The Acolyte

Disney+ is bringing a mystery-thriller vibe to the Star Wars Universe with upcoming series “The Acolyte,” and a bloody official poster has been unleashed this morning.

Additionally, we’ve learned “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will premiere on June 4. Check out the official art below, which replaces a lightsaber beam with a streak of blood…

Bloody violence in the Star Wars Universe? It’s about time! The poster’s tagline reads, “In an age of light… a darkness rises.” Expect the show’s official trailer tomorrow, March 19.

Joining Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give) are Emmy Award-winner Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), Manny Jacinto (Nine Perfect Strangers), Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917), and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix).

“The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.

A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.

The High Republic saw the Jedi Order at its prime, centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

“The Acolyte” comes from creator, showrunner, and executive producer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll). The executive producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Rayne Roberts and Damian Anderson are producing.

“Star Wars: The Acolyte” will stream exclusively on Disney+.
