He played the role of a burnt child killer with a razor blade glove who hunts children of their dreams to kill them Robert Englund in eight movies and a television series. And while many would love to see him return to the role after the lackluster 2010 reboot, Englund says that is not happening.

“I would love to be invited if they reissue Part 3, which I think is the most popular film in the series,” Englund said

“It would be cool to play one of the doctors. This film starred the great Priscilla Pointer, mother of Amy Irving. Maybe I could play her role as a male doctor, which is very cynical. A little wink to the audience that I don’t buy that there is this dream demon that everyone has the same dream about. “It’s a tradition in remakes, especially horror films, to give the original actor a small cameo role, so I think that would be cool.”

He also suggested that he might return to voice Freddy for a “high-end animated version”, saying that “it would be nice” if he were asked to do so. However, he reiterated that he is simply too old to play Freddy again in a live-action film.

“I know I can’t shoot fight scenes in more than one take and angle right now,” Englund said. “I just can’t shake my head or anything.” I’m an old dog! Give me a break!”
