Spanish website El Pais (via Badass Digest) spoke to Campbell himself who seemingly spilled some beans. They’re article says that the basic story will stay the same but with new characters. “The only recognizable face is part of Bruce Campbell, but will be in a cameo towards the end of the film,” says the Google Translate-d interview.
I’m not sure if Campbell would be playing Ash or simply just a wink-y nod to Campbell’s legacy with the film. It also seems weird that Campbell would ruin a surprise cameo at the end of the film but maybe that’s part of the plan to convince angry fans the remake isn’t all that bad. What do you think? Should Ash return and how could he work into the story?
