Although Campbell chose not to return due to a salary dispute, it's now more likely than ever that the studio would be willing to stump up the cash to get her back.
Scream 7 is officially happening, but fans have been stunned by two unexpected exits from the new movie. Both Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, won't be returning for the new movie.
It’s Too Late For Scream 7 To Bring Back Neve Campbell (But 1 Other Legacy Character Should Return)
Why did Jenna Ortega quit Scream 7?
Jenna Ortega has dropped out of “Scream 7” due to her “Wednesday” Season 2 shooting schedule, Variety has confirmed. The news of her exit comes one day after her co-star Melissa Barrera was fired from the horror movie due to Barrera's social media posts about Israel and Palestine.
The film was a big success, and Scream 7 was subsequently confirmed. It was recently revealed, however, that Barrera has been fired from the sequel due to inflammatory tweets, with a follow-up report revealing that Ortega departed the project as well due to scheduling conflicts with Wednesday.
Jenna Ortega will no longer be in Scream VII. Several outlets reported that the actress will be stepping away from the Scream franchise due to alleged scheduling conflicts with the second season of Wednesday.
Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different.
Campbell hasn't ultimately said goodbye to Sidney and the Scream movies, so if the studio agrees to pay her fairly, it's likely she would return as a character for Scream 7. New characters might be at the center of the current Scream story, but Campbell will always be the face of the franchise.
If any Ghostface is apt to return in Scream 7, it's Skeet Ulrich's Billy Loomis, who remains the franchise's most infamous killer. Billy returned in Scream (2022) and Scream 6 through Sam Carpenter's visions, as her father became a representation of her suppressed urge to kill.
She is revealed to have returned to her life away from Woodsboro, and in the ten years since the events of Scream 4, she reconnected with and started a family with her now-husband, Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey), who she first met during the events of Scream 3, when he was a police detective investigating the murders ...
Scream VI has been released – but, sadly for fans, it's the first one without Neve Campbell. Campbell, who had played Sidney Prescott in every Scream film to date, announced in June 2021 she had quit the sixth instalment as she wasn't getting paid what she thought she deserved.
The shocking reveal at the end of Scream shows that the killers are Tara's best friend Amber and Sam's boyfriend, Richie. They were both motivated to kill to continue the Stab franchise (the horror franchise within Scream replicating the film).
Scream 7 may add in the craziest twist of all by making Scream's final girl Sam Carpenter the Ghostface killer. The Scream franchise has had a lot of shocking Ghostface killers, though Sam would be the most jaw-dropping.
Scream 7 could bring back Josh Segarra's Danny as Ghostface, repeating the franchise twist of having the boyfriend as the killer. Josh Segarra's Ghostface audition was highly praised by Scream 6's directors, making him a strong choice for the role in Scream 7.
Barrera, who starred in the fifth and sixth Scream films and was set to star in the forthcoming seventh instalment, has been outspoken in support of Palestine on social media, where she has described Israel as committing “genocide” and “brutally killing innocent Palestinians, mothers and children, under the pretence of ...
Ortega and Barrera co-starred as sisters Tara and Sam Carpenter in the 2022 revival of Scream and this year's sequel Scream VI. They brought life back to the dormant horror franchise along with new and returning stars. Ortega was a massive draw for audiences.
Jenna Ortega was relatively unknown in most circles when she appeared in 2022's Scream as Tara Carpenter. The actress's breakthrough came playing the role of Harley Diaz in the Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle, followed by appearing in the second season of the popular thriller You.
Star Melissa Barrera, known for playing Sam Carpenter in both 2022's Scream and 2023's Scream VI, was fired for comments made on social media. Her co-star, Jenna Ortega, was announced to have left one day later – though seemingly for unrelated reasons.
In 2010, Sam discovered Mr. Carpenter wasn't her biological father and exposed it to the whole family, causing him to leave. After that, Sam still stayed with Tara and Christina for 5–6 more years, going on a downward spiral whilst reading her real father Billy Loomis's diary.
Sidney finds out about his child much later on and figures he wasn't "patient" with her after all and being unfaithful to her. It is revealed that Billy held hatred inside for Sidney, but stayed in the relationship to stay close to her to execute his plan of revenge for his mother abandoning him.
