The main protagonist of the 2013 Evil Dead remake could appear in Evil Dead Rise, according to hints made on Twitter.
If you’ve watched Fede Álvarez’s Evil Dead remake, then you’ll already be aware of the character Mia, who ends up being the film’s final girl. While Mia is a completely different protagonist to Bruce Campbell’s Ash, she’s just as beloved. As a result, fans of the franchise have been calling for Mia to return in an Evil Dead sequel. However, thanks to some subtle hints dropped by Jane Levy on Twitter, it looks like Mia could be set to appear in the latest Evil Dead flick.
In a recent Twitter post by Bloody Disgusting’s John Squires, the editor pointed out that many fans want to see Mia return in an Evil Dead sequel:
“It sure is a testament to how good Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead was that fans were initially against the Bruce-less idea and yet nowadays, even with Campbell returning for a series and a new movie in the works, the most common thing I see on social media is: “BRING BACK MIA!”
In response, Jane Levy, who plays Mia in the remake, thanked fans for their support. When the editor replied stating “we all want you back!”, Levy responded by simply stating, “I understand. More on this subject soon.”
While Jane Levy’s involvement with Evil Dead Rise hasn’t been officially confirmed, the film does have a female-fronted cast. Starring Alyssa Sutherland And Lily Sullivan, the sequel features a new urban environment tormented by an “unstoppable evil”.
It’s worth mentioning that Mia definitely isn’t the main character this time around. However, she could still make an appearance at some point during the film. If Jane Levy’s elusive hint means what we think it means, the character could potentially appear during the final act. Who knows, perhaps she’ll also appear in a Marvel-esque post-credits scene!
In other Evil Dead Rise related news, the horror sequel is being released first on HBO Max. The movie is also set to start filming in New Zealand next month.
