New Evil Dead movie starts production before this summer's Evil Dead Burn even has a trailer

Given that we still don’t have any clue what Burn—out on July 24, 2026—is about, it’s not entirely surprising to note that we have even less idea of a premise for Wrath. (Undead monsters and ill-advised tape recordings will presumably feature.) What it does have is another director hand-picked by Raimi, in this case Francis Galluppi, who got strong reviews for his crime thriller debut The Last Stop In Yuma County. And, honestly, there’s something genuinely charming about seeing Raimi—who famously dragged himself into Hollywood by running Campbell over repeatedly in the Tennessee woods while they and their buddies were making their own movies together in their youths—using the franchise as a way to get up-and-coming genre directors like he once was in front of much bigger audiences. (Meanwhile, the simple fact that Galluppi has been making his name in various flavors of neo-Westerns raises a lot of interesting questions about what direction this latest film might be pointed in.)

Per Bloody Disgusting, Raimi, Campbell, Cronin, Rob Tapert, Romel Adam and Jose Canas are set to produce Wrath, while Charlotte Hope, Jessica McNamee, Zach Gilford, Josh Helman, Ella Newton, Elizabeth Cullen, and Ella Oliphant—none of whom, it’s worth noting, are on the cast list for Evil Dead Burn, seeming to confirm that the series is settling into its anthology model—are set to star.
