On March 2, 2026, actor Bruce Campbell announced that he has been diagnosed with a type of cancer he described as “treatable” but not “curable.” The 67-year-old cult icon noted that he is prioritizing his health and canceling upcoming convention appearances to focus on treatment, though he remains optimistic about touring for his new film, Ernie & Emma (2026), later this fall. Campbell is widely celebrated for his legendary role as Ash Williams in the Evil Dead trilogy, including The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), and Army of Darkness (1992), as well as his performances as Elvis Presley in Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) and Sam Axe in the long-running series Burn Notice (2007–2013). #brucecampbell #evildead #ashvsevildead #armyofdarkness #spiderman
