Despite not having any post-credits scenes, Evil Dead Rise does leave room for some follow-ups. In fact, director Lee Cronin recently revealed some potential sequel ideas while chatting with Variety. “I certainly do. I didn’t want to bait it for sequels necessarily, even though the ending could be interpreted that way. But the ending for me was closing the loop back to the beginning. The way the story is told, I’ve got four places I’d like to look at in terms of where to go… I’m excited for the potential of what could be next and and really hope that I can be involved in in future chapters,” Cronin shared. You can check out his future ideas below:
The story behind the Book of the Dead: “We have history in this film and that’s presented through the vinyl. So there’s there’s a story to be told there. It’s not by accident.”
Beth takes her chainsaw on the road: “Somebody that survives picks up the chainsaw at the end and where they might go.”
The apartment building: “There’s also the aftermath in this building and who encounters that. And I’ve often thought, ‘What happens when the cleanup crew shows up?’”
Back to the woods: “Because of the opening and the closing, there’s that continuation of how this evil has a gate. That brings us back into that forest context, which excites me because I love that I broke the mold, but wouldn’t it be fun now if I went back to the cabin in the woods. It could be a cool journey.”
