Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its “Evil” grip. Here’s whatBruce Campbellhas to say about Ash as he returns to fight a new threat, as well as Ash’s new companions.
“Ash Williams is your everyman. He’s your neighbor who knows nothing. He has no special skills. He’s not interested in saving the world. Ash and Pablo, they are very side-kicky. You need a mentor and a tormentor. [Along with Kelly], it’s a very tight threesome. And they have a vendetta to rid the world of evil. And they’re going to do it one creature at a time.”
