It looks like the newest Evil Dead movie, which just kicked off filming in Auckland, could have its title… and it seems that it may, if true, be hinting that the new movies might actually be a trilogy of sorts.
Anyone who watched 2023’s rather great Evil Dead Rise will know that the ending hinted at more to come with this take on the story and now, with Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead: Burn having wrapped filming last October, we’re hearing this new movie from Last Stop at Yuma County’s Francis Galluppi, is called… Evil Dead: Wrath.
So, since 2023, we’ve had Evil Dead Rise, Evil Dead Burn and (possibly) Evil Dead Wrath. That has to be a trilogy of sorts, right?
The new movie, which is shrouded in mystery, will star The Nun’s Charlotte Hope, Mortal Kombat’s Jessica McNamee, Midnight Mass’ Zach Gilford, Mad Max: Fury Road’s Josh Helman, Dangerous Animals’ Ella Newton, Goolagong’s Elizabeth Cullen and newcomer Ella Oliphant, and Elizabeth Cullen (Goolagong).
This is all very exciting and with sources such as Dread Central reporting this might be the movie that sees the return of the one and only Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, this would definitely make Evil Dead: Wrath one not to miss.
And it has me wondering… is this the ‘multiverse’ Evil Dead movie I first reported on in 2023?
Bruce Campbell says there’s loads more Evil Dead coming as new spinoff is announced
At that time, Lee Cronin went to great lengths to explain that his Evil Dead Rise was the third story in thr evil dead universe – he explained that in Army of Darkness, there were three Necronomicons and that means there’s at least three versions of that book in our world: One in the original trilogy (and Ash Vs Evil Dead), one on Fede Alvarez’s superb 2013 Evil Dead and the third that is now causing havoc in this new (trilogy?) story.
I also reported back then that the plan might be to bring all three stories together in a sort of Evil Dead Avengers movie and with Campbell possibly returning for the first time since his brief appearance in Alvarez’s Evil Dead (yes, I know he had a cameo in Evil Dead: Rise but we’re not sure it’s Ash), we might just be getting that.
Whatever it turns out to be, I can’t wait to see it on the biggest, darkest screen possible.
Evil Dead: Burn hits cinemas on July 24th, 2026 – Evil Dead: Wrath has no release date yet.
