Englund last terrorised the big screen as Freddy Krueger in 2003's Freddy vs Jason.
In 2018, Englund reprised Freddy for an episode of the 1980s-set sitcomwas reimagined in 2010 with Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy. While the Michael Bay-produced remake was a hit, it was shredded by fans and the franchise has laid dormant ever since.
“Jackie’s just so good, a wonderful actor, so I don’t think it was that,” said Englund. “I’ve always thought that Freddy is described as a child killer. So when they made Freddy a child molester [in the remake], that’s not what Freddy is, I don’t think. By taking it to such a dark, dark place, there’s no room for the personality of Freddy to be exploited.”“You’d have to deal with technology and culture,” he pitched.
“I know who icons are,” the classically-trained actor said. “I’m not an icon. Maybe Freddy Krueger is, but I’m not. I’m just a character actor, a utility actor who’s been very lucky.”“Freddy gave me the opportunity to be a leading man and afforded me an international career, instead of being a busy character actor," he mused."I am an actor-for-hire and I go where I am wanted.”Stay Hungry
