Hunter Doohan recently opened up about his role in the upcoming Evil Dead Burn, as well as what fans can expect from Wednesday Season 3.
What did Hunter Doohan say about Evil Dead Burn and Wednesday Season 3?
Speaking to ComingSoon’s Tyler Treese, Doohan was asked about the upcoming Evil Dead Burn, which he’s set to star in alongside Souheila Yacoub, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, and more. Doohan didn’t say much about his role in the movie, but did speak about how fun it was to go from being a fan of the series to being in it.
“I was first introduced to it through the Fede Alvarez one they did in 2013, and then I had seen Evil Dead II,” said Doohan. “Actually, we were shooting Wednesday, and there’s a scene where someone’s…fighting with Thing… the hand. Someone said that was a reference for them, and so I watched that film just for fun, and it was like, ‘Oh, well, this is this whole other thing.’ They’re [very] campy. So then I got to see the Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell ones. Then once I found out about this project I saw everything in the franchise. So it’s been really fun to have been a fan of it, but then I got to dive in deeper, and yeah, I can’t say too much about it, but I hope people are really gonna like it. I think our director, Sébastien Vaniček, is the perfect guy to take the reins over on this one.
When it comes to Wednesday Season 3, Doohan said he’s been grateful for Wednesday, as it helped open a ton of doors for him. He also was happy that the turnaround for the third season has been much quicker compared to the first two.
“You’re so right. I’m so grateful for Wednesday. I mean, one, I just love that show,” Doohan said. “I love being on it. We’re about to go do season three. But it just opened so many doors for me, and I just think it will really kind of kickstart a lot of things for me. I don’t think I would’ve been asked to do this film if it weren’t for having so much attention on me from that project. And then I think being able to share it with fans of the show, obviously – as simple as sharing the trailer – can get some eyes on it, which is really lovely. And I hope that some of the fans of the show connect with this. I know it’s a super different project, but yeah, I’m just really grateful for the Wednesday effect of it all, if that makes sense.
“I swear to God, we’re trying. It’s hard. You know, there was a strike in between. We did not mean for it to be three seasons, three years almost between the two. Yeah, it won’t be quite as long for season three, but that shows that a lot gets put into it. So it’s a big undertaking, but we’re trying to get it faster.”
