Freddy is definitely dead.
Or at least Robert Englund‘s version of the horror icon is.
Amidst all sorts of hopes and dreams from NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET fans, Englund took to his Twitter earlier today to put a stop to all the calls that he just put on the glove one more time instead of whatever New Line might be planning for the franchise in the next few years.
Just for the record, I will NOT be starring as Freddy in any new Nightmare projects, real or fictional

That certainly seems like an absolute, once and for all, so, if you’ve been begging and pleading the fandom gods for Englund’s return to the role that he’ll be associated with forever, you might want to let that one go. It’s not happening – not today, not tomorrow, not ever. It’s time to move on.
