The Man: Bruce Campbell

Over the weekend ACCESS HOLLYWOOD talked to one of my favorite actors, Bruce Campbell.

This is what they had to say:
“Spider-Man 4” will start shooting in January 2010, Bruce Campbell told Access Hollywood at his “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” premiere on Saturday. The actor, who has a long relationship with director Sam Raimi via his lead role in the “Evil Dead” trilogy, made memorable cameos in the first three “Spider-Man” films. However, he may have a bigger role this time around. Bruce told Access that in the next installment in the superhero franchise, he’s been told he has a major part – but didn’t yet know anything about his character. The villain – or villains — for the movie have yet to be revealed, though some fans have speculated that Bruce could take on the role of Mysterio – the master of illusion.”

Now this is what I had to say:
“Freaking sweet.”

As far as I’m concerned, the more Bruce Campbell the better. No real confirmation yet on the validity of this rumor, but it would be awesome. Mysterio seems like a good fit if he is to play a villain, as Mysterio was always a little cheesy anyhow. SPIDERMAN 4 is set to start shooting in January, so I imagine it wont be too long till we find out for sure.

For those of you not familiar with Campbell outside of the EVIL DEAD series of movies/comics/video games, and his SPIDERMAN cameos, you’re missing out.

Campbell starred in BUBBA HO-TEP back in 2002, which weather you liked it or not, you have to admit he was great as Elvis. And, behind only the wardrobe department who dresses all the chicks on there, he’s the best thing on USA’s BURN NOTICE, playing Sam Axe.

And for those not in the ‘know’, Chuck Finley is his totally badass alter ego on the show. Hilarious.
