But if an accomplished horror director had his way, the series would cast none other than Jim Carrey to portray the iconic cackling serial killer, bringing a "bold new direction" to the Nightmare on Elm Street's long-spanning canon.
Though he tipped his hat to former Freddy actor Robert Englund, Russell also mentioned that he'd be interested to see what exactly 63-year-old Jim Carrey could bring to the role after their previous collaboration on 1994's The Mask.
“Jim, in my opinion, could almost do anything if he put his heart into it,” Russell said on the podcast.
“For Jim to do it, we’d have to do something that was another leap in the Elm Street series — a little bit like what Wes did with his very meta New Nightmare," Russell said. "I think Jim would only consider it, and I’d only consider harnessing Jim, if there was a bold new direction for Elm Street.”
Sadly, there has yet to be another entry in the series to date.
