Time to raise those boomsticks aloft in celebration, as Bruce Campbell has revealed that he is happy to return to the character of Ash Williams for Army Of Darkness 2 .
We heard from Fede Alvarez earlier this year that Sam Raimi had begun work on a script for a potential sequel, and now Campbell has commented on a possible return at the Wizard World Nashville Comic Con.
“The last one was 22 years ago,” says Campbell. “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.”
“Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some deadites to catch his breath,” continues the star, when asked whether he would return. “Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker. That would be all right.”
“Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it… All right, sir, the answer is yes.”
And with that, Army Of Darkness 2 soars straight to the top of our most-anticipated movie list. Hail to the king, baby.
