Could Hunter Doohan Become the Villain in Evil Dead Burn? Fans Are Curious!

Summary

  • Evil Dead Burn is the 6th movie in the franchise, set for a July 2026 release, with a new cast including Hunter Doohan.
  • Hunter Doohan’s versatile acting, especially as Tyler in Wednesday, has fans excited for his role in Evil Dead Burn.
  • The Evil Dead franchise, known for its campy horror, is highly anticipated for its upcoming sixth installment.

Amongst horror series that have endured since the ’80s and ’90s, I find the Evil Dead franchise to be particularly captivating. Following the debut of the first film in 1981, fans were left waiting for subsequent installments in the original trilogy, with significant intervals between them. However, after the release of Evil Dead Rise in 2023, it became evident that viewers yearned for more of this delightful and entertaining supernatural tale.

While I typically consider the Scream franchise as my favorite horror series and am excited for Scream 7 in February 2026, I’m equally thrilled about Evil Dead Burn. This heightened anticipation is due to the recent casting news involving an esteemed Wednesday actor. I’m intrigued to find out if they’ll portray a character resembling their role on the popular Netflix series featuring Jenna Ortega, and I can hardly wait for further updates.

Wednesday Star Hunter Doohan Has Been Cast In Evil Dead Burn

In the realm of horror films, I can hardly contain my anticipation as Hunter Doohan, who left an indelible impression in Wednesday, is set to grace our screens once more in Evil Dead Rise. The news, shared by Deadline, has me on the edge of my seat. Though specifics about his character haven’t been revealed yet, I can’t help but wonder if he’ll be donning the cloak of villainy again.

In a captivating performance, Doohan skillfully portrayed both Tyler Galpin/The Hyde Monster in the first season of Wednesday, and I’m eager to see his role in the upcoming Evil Dead movie. The character of Tyler presented unique challenges as he developed a friendship and romantic interest with Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), all while concealing his monstrous nature. Doohan convincingly portrayed Tyler as entirely benevolent, skillfully masking his hidden evil side. It came as quite a shock when Tyler revealed his true self, given how authentic he seemed. I find it intriguing that he is a complex character with compassionate tendencies. If given the opportunity to play another villain in the Evil Dead movies, I believe Doohan would excel, particularly since both series delve into supernatural themes. It could be fascinating to see if there are any striking parallels between Tyler’s character and his role in the Evil Dead films.

In “Evil Dead Rise,” there were some delightful hidden references, and I, along with numerous fans, appreciate the terrifying Deadites in every film. I’m pondering if Doohan could transform into a Deadite, and it would be intriguing, especially if viewers get to understand his character beforehand. Doohan’s portrayal of Wednesday’s character is captivating because viewers grow fond of Tyler, perceiving him as a lost, puzzled, and compassionate individual who shares similarities with Wednesday due to his inability to fit in. However, it becomes intriguing when he unveils his hidden evil side.

Regardless of the roles Doohan assumes throughout his career, it’s been captivating to watch, and we can’t help but be intrigued by the various projects he takes on. Apart from Wednesday, he’s made appearances on two legal dramas. He portrayed a young Warren Cave in Truth Be Told, and Adam Desiato on Your Honor, where Bryan Cranston was also featured. More recently, Doohan starred as Bastian Cooper/Muse for five episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, which is set to have a second season. Upcoming, fans can look forward to seeing him reprise his role as Tyler in Wednesday’s second season, scheduled for release in August and September 2025. Doohan’s characters are complex, and although he transforms into the Hyde Monster, Tyler remains the most charming character he has played so far.
