Development
The Evil Dead (2013), a remake of The Evil Dead (1981), was directed by Fede lvarez, who also revealed there would be a sequel at the South by Southwest film festival. Additionally, Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi stated their intentions to write Evil Dead 4; it was later clarified that the movie will be a follow-up to Army of Darkness (1992). In March 2013, Bruce Campbell and Fede Alvarez said that their ultimate goal was to combine Ash Williams' and Mia Allen's stories in a seventh picture, which would be released after Alvarez's Evil Dead 2 and Raimi's Army of Darkness 2.Co-writer Rodo Sayagues informed DesdeHollywood on October 30, 2013, that he and lvarez will not be returning for the sequel. Lvarez stated on Twitter that same month that the allegation was untrue. Campbell declared that he will return to the Army of Darkness franchise as Ash in the sequel. Raimi's participation as the film's director was afterwards confirmed. Campbell expressed scepticism about a fourth Evil Dead movie by November.Campbell said, using Ash vs. Evil Dead on Starz as an example, that he thought the franchise's only successful future was via a premium cable network during a discussion at Fan Expo Canada in September 2017.
In November 2018, lvarez declared, "Right now, they're simply concepts. Nothing to formally announce. Don't Breathe 2 has a script, which we do have. The only difference is that. The script for Evil Dead 2 is unavailable. However, we did write the script for Don't Breathe 2. He added, "When I tweeted that, I was curious to see what people preferred. We were debating among ourselves what would most likely pique people's curiosity. Sadly, Evil Dead 2 took first place. Which, I suppose, is why, since it was one of my original works, I would have loved Don't Breathe 2 to win.Of course, Evil Dead has a larger fan base. Raimi stated, "We'd like to do another Evil Dead picture and in fact we're working on some ideas right now," when asked about the franchise's future on July 10, 2019. Raimi expressed interest in working with Campbell again, however Campbell had previously stated that he had left the character of Ash. The director is currently a successful "artist in demand," therefore he may not want to make a sequel at this time, he added, adding that the 2013 reboot sequel might be another option.
