Despite promising to never again play the live-action role of Ash Williams, Bruce Campbell has assured fans that the Evil Dead franchise will still go on. The sixty-year-old actor officially retired as onscreen Ash after the cancellation of Ash vs. Evil Dead in 2018, leading many to fear that the franchise may have finally hit a dead end. Campbell, however, promises that this isn't the case.
This June, strange things will once again be afoot at the Circle-K. Yep, it's finally official: Bill and Ted Face the Music is set to begin filming this summer. The long-awaited end to the beloved trilogy is expected to be released in 2020 and that is definitely most excellent.
One of the most iconic horror franchises of this decade is still going strong. The fifth installment of The Purge universe is officially set to be released on Friday, July 10th, 2020 and horror fans should be excited. Following the success of last year's The First Purge and the renewal of the eponymous TV series on USA, series creator James DeMonaco will be back at the helm to pen the next chapter of the dystopian world.
The 1980s were a defining decade for the horror genre. Classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Shining, Hellraiser, The Evil Dead and more all terrified audiences across the nation. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before one of the scariest shows on television decided to take on one of the most frightening eras in film. American Horror Story: 1984 is expected to premiere some time this fall and producer Tim Minear is already guaranteeing big things.
Even though Godzilla: King of the Monsters has yet to hit theaters, its sequel Godzilla vs. Kong just finished principal photography and is already pencilled in for a 2020 release. According to Legendary CEO Joshua Grode, these films are just the beginning of what he foresees as an entire monster universe.
The Midnight Meat Train was, in many ways, way ahead of its time. The grisly story of a struggling photographer stalking a serial killer was only given a limited theatrical release, but has garnered a cult following in the decade since it first terrified audiences.

The already star-studded cast of the upcoming Warner Bros. film Scoob just got even more talented. Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows alum Jason Issacs will both lend their talents to the animated movie that's set to be released in spring of 2020.
The entire Star Wars community is grieving over the loss of one of the most iconic actors in the history of the franchise. Peter Mayhew, the lovable giant who played Chewbacca, passed away at 74 earlier this week due to a heart attack. Rian Johnson, the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, shared a heart-warming tweet with the world on Thursday night to reflect on the loss:
It looks like fans weren't the only ones to cry during Avengers: Endgame. When it was time for Chris Evans to pass his character's shield on to Anthony Mackie, both men became emotional.
Everyone is understandably going gaga over the monstrous Avengers: Endgame box office numbers. The movie may seem destined to dethrone many or all of the blockbusters ahead of it, but a closer look at the numbers shows that Marvel's big moneymaker is actually slowing down compared to its biggest competition: the Star Wars franchise.
