A Nightmare On Elm Street star Robert Englund recently addressed whether he would return as the iconic slasher villain, and his answer was perfect.
While Robert Englund isn’t interested in returning to the role of A Nightmare On Elm Street’s infamous villain Freddy Krueger, this doesn’t necessarily need to spell the end of the iconic horror franchise. Slasher franchise reboots are incredibly popular. 2019 saw the revival of some slightly more obscure slasher series like the Child’s Play franchise and Black Christmas movies.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While 2021 saw Canydman’s return and 2022 brought a Hellraiser reboot, the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise’s Freddy Krueger hasn’t been seen on screen in over a decade. While actor Robert Englund showed up in Stranger Things season 4 , there has been no news surrounding the future of the famous slasher series in recent years.
Robert Englund Shouldn’t Return As Freddy In An NOES Reboot Englund told Variety that he wouldn’t return to the role of Freddy Krueger in a Nightmare On Elm Street reboot but that he would be happy to cameo. This is the right call for the franchise’s future, although some fans might be sad to hear it. Englund reiterated that Kevin Bacon would be a great new Freddy Krueger and lamented the failure of 2010’s misguided Nightmare On Elm Street remake.
Since Freddy Krueger’s actor himself feels that he isn’t up for the role anymore, he is unlikely to give a performance that matches the classic original Nightmare On Elm Street movies. Luckily, Englund said he would be happy to cameo in a reboot of the series. Since Freddy can change his appearance at will, that could easily be arranged.
Englund’s Krueger Future Could Copy A Recent Horror Hit Candyman 2021 brought back Tony Todd in a cameo as the original Candyman while simultaneously replacing the actor, and a Nightmare On Elm Street reboot could do the same. If Freddy were to change from his new appearance back into Englund’s version of Freddy at some point in the reboot, this would be a welcome surprise for fans and a fun way to confirm that this new version of Freddy was canonically connected to the original character.
