This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

A Nightmare on Elm Street star Robert Englund has revealed the one and only condition for unretiring Freddy Krueger is the franchise were to continue. England has portrayed Freddy in all the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, except for the 2010 reboot where Jackie Earle Haley took on the role. While there hasn’t been a movie in the franchise since the remake, it’s also been unclear if the original actor would return to his iconic role given the opportunity. Given the length of time since the newest installment, it’s unclear what plans could be in place for the franchise.

Speaking with Bloody Disgusting, Englund said he would only reprise his role as Freddy in an animated rendition of A Nightmare on Elm Street. The actor explained how, due to his age, he'd be unable to perform all the slasher villain's feats in live-action anymore, but would be willing to voice the character should an animated project come to light. Check out what Englund had to say below:


There’s no Freddy left in me. I could possibly voice a really high-end, animated version. That would be nice to be asked to do, but I know I can’t do the fight scenes more than one take now, one angle. I just can’t be snapping my head or anything like that. I’m an old dog! Give me a break.
