Good news for Final Destination fans. According to Bloody Disgusting, horror icon Tony Todd will reprise his role as William Bludworth in Final Destination 6.
Todd, who is a horror fan-favourite, was in the first Final Destination as Bludworth, a mortician with a mysterious connection to and knowledge of death who gave advice to Devon Sawa’s Alex Browning and Ali Larter’s Clear Rivers on how to cheat death after their survival from a plan explosion. Todd returned to the franchise in Final Destination 2 and Final Destination 5.
The story for Final Destination 6 reportedly follows a group of first responders, though according to Bloody Disgusting the next film will also give us Bludworth’s backstory with flashbacks to his childhood explaining his connection with death.
