Scream 7
While theScreamseries commonly introduces new characters as each sequel ’s villains , a smattering of exist series stars would be perfect asScream 7 ’s Ghostface . 1996’sScreamredefined the linguistic rule of the slasher sub - genre . BeforeScream , many of the most successful slasher franchises had instantly recognizable villain likeHalloween ’s Michael Myers , Nightmare On Elm Street ’s Freddy Krueger , andFriday the 13th ’s Jason Voorhees . However , Screamfused the slasher chemical formula with figure take over from the mystery execution mystery . In an approaching borrowed from the originalFriday the 13th , director Wes Craven’sScreamforced viewers to work out the identicalness of the pic ’s mysterious murderer .
TheScreamsequels continued in this vein , with each movie introducing a slew of new fibre who could be the man ( or cleaning woman ) behind the mask . 2023 ’s successful sequelScream VIleft a lot of question unansweredas the movie do up a crew of crimson herring that turned out to be elaborate distraction . Since nothing is ever quite as it seems in the Earth ofScream , these set - ups may still pay off in the approaching sequelScream 7.Scream 7 ’s killer could be a new character ( or multiple new characters ) , but there are also plenty of surviving suspects leave over from earlier franchise outing .
6Sidney Prescott
Scream VIdidn’t let in Neve Campbell ’s Sidney Prescott , thanks to the worker ’s salary negotiations breaking down during product . This was a shame , but the financial and critical succeeder ofScream VImeans that the creators of the dealership have no self-justification not to convey back Sidney inScream 7 . One of thewildestScream VIfan theoriesclaimed Sidney herself could be Ghostface in the subsequence , but this did n’t come to come about as Campbell ’s character did n’t appear in the film . apparently , bringing back Sid and wee-wee herScream 7 ’s killer whale would devastate fans , but that is not inevitably a sorry affair in a beastly slasher series .
5Sam Carpenter
Melissa Barrera ’s likable Sam is the heroine ofScream VandScream VI , soScream 7turning her into a killer would be almost as controversial as Sidney being the continuation ’s villain . However , bothScream VandScream VIalready hinted that Sam has a sadistic edge to her . Since she turned out not to be the sea wolf in either of those franchise outings , it could be a solid surprise to reveal that Sam is the villain this clock time around inScream 7 . Not only that , but the fact that Jenna Ortega has become an A - list star could ensue in Sam ’s sister Tara replacing Sam if the heroine was vote out off .
Scream 7could also bring backSam and Tara ’s mother , but revealing that she is the killer might be a bridge circuit too far . Scream 2attempted something like to this when Billy Loomis ’s mother turned out to be the scoundrel in the sequel , and even a inspirit , campy turn from Laurie Metcalf could n’t salvage this unlikely twisting . Admittedly , it would be hazardous to make Sam a villain after bothScream VandScream VIcentered her as their heroine . However , like Sidney becoming a villain inScream 7 , this twist would traumatize longtime viewers and new fans alike and would evidence that the sequel was n’t pull any punches .
4Danny Brackett
Sam’sScream VIboyfriend , Danny Brackett , is almost too perfect , peculiarly since he plow out to be completely innocent in his first movie show . As such , it would make sense forScream 7to reveal that he is n’t so harmless after all . Danny would be suspect number one inScream 7if he were still Sam ’s romantic partner by the prison term the movie took place , but the sequel could still have TV audience off the scent . Much likeScream VIused Sam ’s vision of Billy Loomisto make her seem like the killer , Scream 7could set up one of the Meeks - Martin twins as a diversion from Danny .
3Mark Kincaid
Sidney ’s love sake Mark Kincaid has n’t been seen sinceScream 3 , where Patrick Dempsey ’s case seemed like a defendant until the pic ’s untypically feeble gimmick ending . However , Scream Vrevealed that he had been marry to Sidney for years , and the twain have children together . While Sidney was n’t involve inScream VI ’s killings , if she returns forScream 7 , the franchise could make things very personal for her . If theScreamseries were to impart backScream 3 ’s Mark Kincaidonly to disclose that he is a killer , this mingy - spirited turn would tragically pervert Sidney ’s seemingly happy ending and make the recent sequel finger disconsolate in retrospect .
2Martha Meeks
First introduced inScream 3 , Randy ’s sis Martha was last seen inScream V. Her condition as a background role , as well as her motivation in revenge Randy , make her a great surprise killer forScream 7 . Meanwhile , her close personal connection to the Meeks - Martin twins would make this a sorry construction that ties into the franchise ’s themes of family closed book . Throughout theScreammovies , the family has been depicted as a site of hidden violence . Martha ’s harmless demeanor would make it all the more shocking if she was the one to keep this theme alive , especially when Randy , Chad , and Mindy are all fan - favourite suffer characters .
1Stu Macher
Scream VIconfirmed that Scream villain Stu Macher could still be alive , so Stu ’s return would be the perfectScream 7twist . WhileScream VI ’s rumor Stu Macher returndidn’t materialize , this only makes it more likely that the baddie could make a comeback in the next sequel . If Stu rick out to be awake , his return will allow Sidney ’s journeying to come full traffic circle . Instead ofScream V ’s face - off against Richie and Amber acting as Sidney ’s last stand , Scream 7 ’s encounter between one of the original pic ’s killers and Campbell ’s heroine could be a much more fitting send - off for the franchise ’s heroine .
With Matthew Lillard starring in the upcomingFive Nights at Freddy’smovie , it is decipherable that the role player is still open to working on horror movies . Meanwhile , Campbell has not ruled out the possibility of returning for aScreamsequel provided the franchise ’s producers meet her salary requirement . As such , Scream 7could provide a perfect coda for theScreamseries by reunite two star of the original movie for one last long - awaited face - off .
