Doug Bradley’s Pinhead Return Can Explain Jamie Clayton’s Role In The Franchise
Before the 2022Hellraiserreboot moving picture , Pinhead had only been played by male actors . Doug Bradley played the leader of the Cenobites in the first eightHellraisermovies , with Stephan Smith Collins take over the role inHellraiser : Revelationsand Paul T. Taylor play Pinhead inHellraiser : Judgment . Jamie Clayton is the first actress to play the Priest / Pinhead , which raised questions about her place in theHellraiseruniverse , what materialize to Bradley ’s variation , and Pinhead ’s role as the leader of the Cenobites .
TheHellraisermovies explain thatPinhead was once a British soldier named Captain Elliott Spencer , who after becoming disillusioned with life and humanity during World War I , summoned the Cenobites and end up joining them . Clayton ’s variant of Pinhead incriminate that this could be a part that can be fulfilled by others , which is in telephone line with Barker’sHellraisercomics . In them , it ’s connote that Spencer was n’t the first Priest and thus others can be recruited to sate the role if Pinhead leaves or is destroyed . In the novelThe Scarlet Gospels , it ’s debated if there has always been one Priest or if this is a role that has been yield to other mankind - turned - Cenobites for centuries .
Now , Doug Bradley has open up about a return to theHellraiserfranchiseafter all these yr ( viaBloody Disgusting ) . Bradley suppose he is n’t close up to the possibility of playing Pinhead again , but he would like the role to be aware of the metre that has passed , so he would be up for playing “ an Old , dark-skinned Pinhead ” . Bradley ’s return could explain how Clayton ’s Pinhead fits into theHellraiserfranchise by staying truthful to Barker ’s world and revealing that the Priest is a persona that can be fulfil by others as take , standardised to what theCandymanreboot did with the title character .
