How will Stuart ‘Stu’ Macher Return in Scream 7?
Not much is known about the plot of Scream 7 as of now but it has been confirmed that Scott Foley, who played Roman Bridger, the killer filmmaker in Scream 3, will return in Scream 7 as well. His return is a headscratcher as well because it seemed like his fate was sealed by the end of the film. After all, he got shot in the head.Â
But his as well as Matthew Lillard’s return seems to hint at a possibility of Sidney being haunted by the ghosts of all the people who were killed as Ghostface. After all, dead Ghostfaces have returned in the character’s memories. However, another theory is also possible- Stu never actually died and instead survived the TV smash.Â
Scream 7 will be in cinemas on Feb. 27, 2026.Â
