It is a good time to be a horror fan, because the style’s renaissance has resulted in a few of the finest horror films returning to theaters with new sequels. That features Wes Craven’s Scream, which has had two new sequels launched in fast succession (and streaming with a Paramount+ subscription). A seventh film is coming collectively, and can characteristic various useless Ghostface killers. And it seems that even Scott Foley is confused about his return as Roman.
What we find out about Scream 7 is tremendous restricted, however followers are hyped that Neve Campbell is returning as Sidney Prescott. Precisely how he’ll seem as Roman stays to be seen, though Billy Loomis appeared a ghost within the final two movies. Whereas showing on Good Morning America (by way of EW), Foley shared his personal confusion about reprise his function for the primary time since Scream 3. In his phrases:
I am prepared to take a ballot right here and somebody can clarify it to me as a result of I do not know the way it works out.
Truthfully, similar. Whereas I like seeing Scream legacy characters return, I assumed that the seventh movie would deliver again those that had been really nonetheless alive. Alas, each Skeet Ulrich and Scott Foley are anticipated to reprise their roles regardless of their obvious deaths. In the identical interview, the Scandal actor shared extra about his destiny in Scream 3 (which is streaming with Max subscription). In his phrases:
Yeah, my character — spoiler alert — 25 years in the past, I used to be the killer in Scream 3. He was brutally taken to city and killed. Now I am again in Scream 7, and I am undecided how it’ll work.
Whereas the third film is arguably the least brutal of the whole slasher franchise, Foley’s feedback will nonetheless doubtless echo the considerations of the fandom. In spite of everything, the destiny of the Ghostface killers often is not ambiguous; they sometimes find yourself shot within the head on the finish of every movie.
Nonetheless the useless characters are going for use in Scream 7, it looks as if director Kevin Williamson (who wrote the unique two films) goes to lean closely on the franchise’s historical past. Scott Foley shared what it was like reuniting with Williamson, in addition to his former castmates. In his phrases:
The very best, it is a lot enjoyable. I bought to see Neve once more and David Arquette once more, and Kevin Williamson, who wrote the primary one. I used to be in Dawson’s Creek, which was the primary TV present he did years in the past, he is directing this one, and we had a lot enjoyable being on set. It was nice to be round folks you like and know.
Followers had been devastated when David Arquette’s Dewey was killed off within the 2022 Scream, which is why his return in Scream 7 is so thrilling. Reasonably than any of the useless characters coming again to life, followers assume that they may seem to Neve Campbell’s Sidney. In spite of everything, she’s bought an extended historical past of trauma to cope with whereas as soon as once more risking her life to combat Ghostface.
For now the numerous questions we’ve about Scream 7 will stay unanswered. The film is presently anticipated to hit theaters February 27, 2026, so it isn’t even a part of the 2025 transfer launch record. We’ll simply have to attend for extra particulars about Scott Foley’s Roman and the opposite useless characters.
