Don't hold your breath for an Ash, Mia, and Beth crossover movie after new Evil Dead spinoff announcements. Even if Bruce Campbell doesn't play Ash Williams, he could still appear in upcoming Evil Dead spinoff movies in different roles. With Evil Dead Rise setting up a new direction for the franchise with new characters, a crossover with past protagonists seems unlikely.

While Evil Dead Rise seemed to set up a thrilling franchise return for Bruce Campbells Ash Williams, a new announcement from Sam Raimis production company makes this prospect less likely. Bruce Campbells breakout role came in 1981 when starring in Sam Raimis The Evil Dead movie, where the actor smashed horror movie conventions to emerge as the sole survivor and Final Guy. Campbell would reprise his role in Evil Dead II in 1987 and Army of Darkness in 1992, bringing a close to Raimis original Evil Dead trilogy before the franchise would be rebooted decades later.
