The Evil Dead franchise has dominated television over the past few years, but another movie is now in the works, and the legendary Bruce Campbell has shared more details about what fans can expect. He started by confirming during a recent interview that writer and director Lee Cronin is hard at work on the next instalment despite the pandemic putting Hollywood on lockdown.

“We’re just getting off the phone with Lee Cronin, who is writing and directing the next Evil Dead,” Campbell explained. “It’s called Evil Dead Now. Sam handpicked Lee – he did a cool movie called The Hole In The Ground. We’re going to get that sucker out as soon as practical.”

It was previously reported that shooting would begin by the end of the year, but that now seems highly unlikely all things considered. However, having played Ash for such a long time – including in the aforementioned Ash vs. Evil Dead – the actor confirms he’s hanging up his chainsaw for this next chapter. 

“From this point forward, they kind of have to stand on their own. Which is fine. And liberating,” Campbell confirms. “You could have different heroes, different heroines in this case. This one’s gonna be a little more dynamic/. We just want to keep the series current. And the mantra, really, is that our heroes and heroines are just regular people. That’s what we’re going to continue.”

No release date has been set, but this is definitely a positive update, and we’re expecting to hear more soon. For now, let us know your thoughts on these plans for the Evil Dead franchise below.

While it was previously reported that Hawkeye was set to begin production this September, we don’t know how much Marvel Studios’ plans have now changed, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic causing so much disruption to upcoming productions. As a result, it’s impossible to say when the series will begin shooting, but the Disney+ TV show does now have a working title. 

According to Murphy’s Multiverse, that is “Anchor Point,” and while it may not have much meaning on the surface, it could be familiar to fans of the comic books. 

Kelly Thompson’s Hawkeye run – which primarily focused on Kate Bishop – received widespread critical acclaim, and the first six issues can be found in a trade paperback called, you guessed it, “Anchor Point.” It’s possible that this is just a coincidence, but could also be a sign that Thompson’s work will be influenced by the Marvel Comics story arc. 

What does that tell us about Hawkeye? Well, during the writer’s run, Kate was a freelance private investigator, so it’s feasible that she’ll have a similar role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Heck, it’s even possible that she’s hired by someone to find Ronin for everything he did between the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. 

What do you guys think?

Gotham ended on FOX last year, and while it was often divisive, it also had a sizeable fanbase. During its final season, Cameron Monaghan stole the show as Joker, and while his origins were undeniably convoluted and a little silly, there was no faulting the actor’s twisted and terrifying performance.

Now, some new behind the scenes photos have been revealed showing just how messed up Monaghan’s Clown Prince of Crime was. In terms of appearance, he could give Joaquin Phoenix’s take a run for its money, and this Joker is arguably more comic accurate from a purely visual perspective. 

There are no plans for a Gotham follow-up of any sort, but a prequel series loosely connected to the show can be found in Pennyworth, a show which focuses on Alfred and Thomas Wayne’s early years. It’s a fun show, and one which should definitely make fans of the FOX drama happy.
