Sarah Michelle Gellar has been a star of TV and movie for many years now, and is greatest identified for starring because the title character of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which is streaming with a Hulu subscription). That is my favourite present of all time, and I’ve beloved seeing SMG have a renaissance currently with quite a lot of thrilling tasks like Dexter: Authentic Sin and the Buffy reboot pilot. She additionally stunned folks along with her cameo within the new I Know What You Did Final Summer season, however there’s one other legacy character I must see her reprise ASAP: Cici Cooper from Scream 2.
Between returning as Helen Shivers in IKWYDLS (regardless of her dying) and filming new scenes as Buffy Summers, Sarah Michelle Gellar is making a behavior out of reprising her most well-known horror roles. And since Scream 7 started filming in January, it looks as if the right time for her to pop again in as Cici.
Scream 7 Is Already Bringing A Ton Of Legacy Characters Again.
Since SMG died in Scream 2 (which is streaming with a Max subscription), one would assume that might be the tip of her time as Cici Cooper. However current installments within the horror franchise have modified the principles, with Skeet Ulrich returning as a ghost model of Billy Loomis. This opened the door for extra of those returns, which is precisely what is going on for the upcoming horror film Scream 7.
What we find out about Scream 7 is restricted, however director Kevin Williamson is bringing again a ton of legacy characters… one way or the other. The next have already been confirmed on-line, to the confusion and delight of followers like myself: Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley, who have been Ghostfaces Stu Macher and Roman Bridger. Moreover, David Arquette is ready to return, regardless of Dewey’s dying in 2022’s Scream. The latter is particularly thrilling, since Scream VI was the one installment with out his character bodily current.
With so many useless characters set to seem within the subsequent slasher, it appears logical that Cici might additionally present up. Sadly, Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed she did not get the decision, regardless of being involved in becoming a member of the enjoyable. Though, since we simply bought by months of her mendacity about returning in I Know What You Did Final Summer season, perhaps we must always take the 48-year-old icon’s feedback with a grain of salt.
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s chase scene as Cici is arguably among the best scenes in Scream 2, regardless of her not being a number one position within the extremely anticipated sequel. The identical may also be mentioned for Helen’s dying in I Know What You Did Final Summer season, which is why SMG is without doubt one of the all-time scream queens ever. As such, bringing her again together with different legacy characters in Scream 7 simply feels proper. So I’ll hold crossing my fingers that this truly occurs.
Scream 7 is at the moment anticipated to reach in theaters on February twenty seventh as a part of the 2026 film launch checklist. Followers should wait and see if extra shock cameos are included, in addition to if Hulu orders the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot to sequence.
