Over on Twitter this afternoon, Bruce Campbell kicked the ole Speculation Machine (it’s a real thing, I swear) into high gear with what appears to be some kind of teaser for some kind of project of, well, some kind. It’s entirely possible it’s really nothing and he’s just messing with us, but Campbell tweeted out a stylized image of Ash Williams with the text “September…“.
Now before you get too excited, keep in mind that Campbell officially retired from playing Ash last year, but he did also hint last year that some kind of Evil Dead video game project was in the works. He had told us last August, “They are doing a video game. A whole immersive kind of dealio. I’ll be Ash for that, because I wouldn’t want someone else’s voice hamming it up.”
Campbell may have been referring to Ash being added to Dead By Daylight, which was confirmed more recently. Or perhaps he was referring to Ash being added into Mortal Kombat 11 as a playable fighter, rumored but unconfirmed at this time. It’s entirely possible that if Ash is indeed planned as a MK11 DLC character, that could be released in September. Or maybe there’s a full-on Evil Dead game coming soon, which could very well be the September tease.
We also know Campbell is hosting the new “Ripley’s” series, but that arrives in June. There’s also the Netflix animated zombie series “The Last Kids on Earth” launching later this year, which Campbell is doing voice work for. But why tease that with an image of Ash?
The only other thing we’ve heard of him working on recently was a new book, which could be what today’s tease is for. Or we’re off base entirely. Or, well, who the hell even knows.
Any guesses?! Sound off below!
