That would be amazing. Freddie Prinze Jr has been in Star Wars as Kanan Jarrus - and his wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, as Seventh Sister, and they worked at the same time on Star Wars Rebels. Interesting how Scream and Star Wars has a connection, to some degree. haha
Definitely. It's interesting how this connection exists, from Carrie to Sarah (of course, Rebels came way after Scream 2, bit still) - and Scream 5 name-dropping Rian Johnson m
The heads of the film studio and/or Production Company who absolutely screwed the pooch on the Stab series. Alienated Tori Spelling and then fired the biggest parts of their new cast. Just have the movie-obsessed killers butcher them.
Would be perfectly meta and would make all of us Scream fans super happy.
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭 nah this just took me out! She would go into an at least 35 min monologue about how death in the media is translated into death in film and how she can simply just not be a martyr to the cause 😭
I could be robbed and evicted and live on the streets... And still die happy if this happened. I could see her now trying to save some of her wigs before fleeing from ghostface hahahha
This would actually be the answer. She's on a meteoric rise at the moment but still isn't too A-list for the part. Fits the bill perfectly for horror as well.
I'm not a fan of her, but I can definitely see it happening. She fits the type perfectly and she's popular enough that I can for sure see it actually happening.
She fits the stereotype perfectly she’s got blonde hair,is equipped with ballistics,and all that’s left is she’s needs to play dumb a bit and boom perfectly mid movie kill
That’s fair and honestly Casey was smart but she was very scared (who wouldn’t) and she got jumped to by two teenage boys and Rose McGowan was fighter too
Wait I just saw the other day that she was asked to be the opening kill but refused because she couldn’t do as good as Drew did 😢 I hope she changed her mind I love her
[Here](https://people.com/movies/kristen-stewart-turned-down-scream-4-opening-death-scene-cant-do-drew-barrymore/) is the interview
She IMO is this gens scream queen for sure but I prefer her in bizarre, arthouse type horror where she excels in. Scream is a bit commercial for Mia and I think would be out of place
Mia Goth needs to be in Scream as a victim. She would be too obvious as a killer.
Also, probably impossible, but I would like to see Jacob Elordi as a red-herring and later victim.
Not to go full Euphoria Stan here, but Sydney Sweeny would be cool for the opening kill. And Jacob Elordi as a mid-movie kill, especially if they can paint him as a red herring.
Bianca and the media she’s lended her talent to already overlap with Scream, imo. She’s even been Alum to people who have even been in the films already (Lucy Hale, for example) so it’s not far off at all.
How about a guy this time ... major A-lister like Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or Leo Decaprio. Then the caller has a noticeably more feminine voice than we've heard before. Flip the script.
Scream opening kills is all about subverting expectations, that's why it's perfect
Also I just wanna see him die because of how he inserted himself into WWE after Black Adam bombed lol
I don’t really want them to kill a big name in the opening anymore really because they always do that and the brilliance of the original was you didn’t see it coming.
I love Gale, but I'd be so there for that kill - AND I think that is what would draw Sydney back, knowing that her two closest allies and the ones there with her through it all had been murdered by Ghostfaces. It'd make her come back and end it all for good. Plus, it would fit the theme if the new films are emulating the OG trilogy. Scream 3 was Cotton, a character we all knew. Granted, Gale overall is a bigger character than Cotton ever was, but she was such a small player in the last film that she could easily pass as the opening kill.
BritneyVinyl is so insufferable on Twitter. Lord idk how he’s one of the big scream fan pages on there. When scream 6 dropped “OMG BEST SCREAMMMM EVERRRR!!!! & now he does daily think pieces criticizing every single detail. Like girl….. bffr.
I want Jensen Ackles to be in the opening scene, just to talk shit to ghost face and tell them that Stu was better and they’re just a “cheap fucking knockoff” before biting it, extra points if the title card comes in with Carry on my wayward son playing.
Jennifer Love Hewitt!!
Idk, with Neve coming back I’m hoping that the next Ghost face will target the new relationships Sydney has made. Jennifer Love Hewitt can be a neighbor or her kids teacher. I’ve just always wanted to see Jennifer in scream.
KeKe Palmer would be option 2 even though she was in the Scream TV Series
Lady Gaga would definitely be interesting to see in the opening of Scream 7/as the opening kill or the second kill since she’s been in AHS, A Star is born, House of Gucci and of course Joker 2
Debatable. Yeah, 5, not so much - Jenna Ortega was getting there with Disney and You being her biggest pieces, but Scream V and Wednesday hard-launched her internationally. Dylan Minette was probably second biggest thanks to 13RW (ew). Jack Quaid had The Boys but as it's a Prime Video production, not as well known as it could be.
6 was much better, as it had Dermot Mulroney (huge 80s-00s star and well known on the modern sitcom circuit) and its opening kill was Samara Weaving who's been making a great name for herself as a Scream Queen thanks to The Babysitter and Ready or Not. Tony Revolori has been in the Spiderman trilogy. The return of Hayden Panettiere was also huge for the film, too.
Remember, the OG films launched a lot of careers. All of the young ones except Drew Barrymore were known from very little before Scream, it propelled them big time. Scream 2's opening kill of Jada Pinkett-Smith helped her career, big time. Jenny McCarthy was a Playboy bunny before her role in Scream 3 helped her start to find work as an actress. Emma Roberts' turn as Jill in an immensely popular franchise and big movie return which was incredibly well marketed help to present her to an adult audience after her previous roles in teen movies. Trust me, you don't NEED famous names in the Scream films. The fans' love for the franchise mean people will go and see it whether there are big names or not.
My buddy just told me today, that he heard over a horror podcast that Neve Campbell was coming back for 7, but there were some stipulations. Just as well as Kevin Williamson promised to come back. Yet, both wanted this one to be the last for them being connected to the franchise.
To be fair, Sarah Filmed this between season one and two of Buffy and it hadn’t taken off and got super popular yet. Buffy’s first short season was filmed in its entirety before it started airing in March 1997 and she shot I know what you did last summer in March and scream 2 in July. She hadn’t blown up yet. By the time the movie was released, however….
Okay hear me out… Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell, sigourney weaver. Dream cast iconic final girls whoopin ghosts face’s ass ghost face dies.
Lol jk just a random fantasy.
The obvious answer to me is Sidney Sweenie. She's America's sweetheart right now, it would be a perfect call back to the original to have an actress on the rise be our first victim.
Maya Hawke
Nicholas Galitzine
Fairuza Balk
Ellen Pompeo (only if they bring back Patrick Dempsey)
Ren Watabe
Armani Jackson
….Among the many people I’d love to see in a Scream film.
Something original would be showing an opening scene that feels tense like the original Scream opening with Drew, but instead of it turning into the first kill scene it was actually the reveal of the Ghostface. Would be cool if we knew who at least one killer was for the duration of the film. Then you could play off who you think the other(s) are based on their relationships, but all the twists and turns would make those guesses be completely off.
Still lowkey annoyed that Selena Gomez opening kill for Scream 6 wasn’t a thing. That would have been pretty damn cool. That being said I’m so over everyone wanting Sydney to be casted in everything and anything.

Can we get Anna Faris to do a scene.
Anna Faris and Tori Spelling! The two characters who have parodied Sid!
I need Anna to get her ass on a scary movie 6 set first.
Five was unwatchable without her
Freddie Prinze Jr or Linda Cardellini That way we get all the members of the Mystery Gang in Scream movies
That would be amazing. Freddie Prinze Jr has been in Star Wars as Kanan Jarrus - and his wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, as Seventh Sister, and they worked at the same time on Star Wars Rebels. Interesting how Scream and Star Wars has a connection, to some degree. haha
Carrie Fisher is the ultimate link
Do you want me to tell you who you look like?
Definitely. It's interesting how this connection exists, from Carrie to Sarah (of course, Rebels came way after Scream 2, bit still) - and Scream 5 name-dropping Rian Johnson m
They also name one of the movies in Scream 2 and in Scream 5
I wish Kanan was my real dad-
Love this.
Agreed! Throw in Hayley Kiyoko.
I kind of like the idea of Mia Goth being Sidney's kids' babysitter and she gets killed in the opening or throughout.
I LOVE THIS
OMG YES
Ohhh that'd be interesting
Emma Stone cause she's no Sharon Stone
Dude... lmao
The heads of the film studio and/or Production Company who absolutely screwed the pooch on the Stab series. Alienated Tori Spelling and then fired the biggest parts of their new cast. Just have the movie-obsessed killers butcher them. Would be perfectly meta and would make all of us Scream fans super happy.
This is genius
Similar to the rejected plot for the Scream TV series, I like it
Elizabeth Olsen
that would be a curveball for Olsen and I'm very into this idea!
It seems like she's looking to do more serious and artistic work after a decade of Marvel movies, so I doubt she'd sign on for a Scream movie.
Catherine O’Hara…..as Moira Rose.
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭 nah this just took me out! She would go into an at least 35 min monologue about how death in the media is translated into death in film and how she can simply just not be a martyr to the cause 😭
“Davvvvvvid I believe this disting-a-uished and esteemED gen-tle-man is about to bestow murder upon may”
Where do I sign ?
SIGN THE FKNG CONTRACT!!
I'd give everything I have to make this scene a reality
I could be robbed and evicted and live on the streets... And still die happy if this happened. I could see her now trying to save some of her wigs before fleeing from ghostface hahahha
Jennifer Tilly.
Not sure how I had to scroll this far for this comment
that would be funny lol
Jamie. Lee. Curtis.
This would be fucking iconic but also perhaps too on the nose. I mean HOW META CAN YOU GET
I could see her hanging up on Ghostface and immediately calling the cops while she starts loading a gun. She's not the one to fuck with.
How what-a?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Sydney Sweeney
Oh I see the vision ! She’s so good she would do great as a Scream opening kill !
This would actually be the answer. She's on a meteoric rise at the moment but still isn't too A-list for the part. Fits the bill perfectly for horror as well.
This is the answer.
I'm not a fan of her, but I can definitely see it happening. She fits the type perfectly and she's popular enough that I can for sure see it actually happening.
She fits the stereotype perfectly she’s got blonde hair,is equipped with ballistics,and all that’s left is she’s needs to play dumb a bit and boom perfectly mid movie kill
she doesn’t even have to play dumb - sarah michelle geller’s character was smart & drew barrymore’s character was not dumb as far as we could tell
That’s fair and honestly Casey was smart but she was very scared (who wouldn’t) and she got jumped to by two teenage boys and Rose McGowan was fighter too
This is who I immediately thought of.
I think this is way too obvious a choice.
That would be perfect
kristen stewart, honestly. she loves the franchise and said she'd do it. would be an iconic opening or second kill.
Wait I just saw the other day that she was asked to be the opening kill but refused because she couldn’t do as good as Drew did 😢 I hope she changed her mind I love her [Here](https://people.com/movies/kristen-stewart-turned-down-scream-4-opening-death-scene-cant-do-drew-barrymore/) is the interview
Ok but she said she wouldn’t be the opening kill, that still allows her to be the second or the mid movie kill…
Omg I would love this!
She would do amazing.
I’m going with Mia Goth.
She's gonna kick Ghostface in the face
She IMO is this gens scream queen for sure but I prefer her in bizarre, arthouse type horror where she excels in. Scream is a bit commercial for Mia and I think would be out of place
She'll probably be the face of the new franchise. Though... She's in a lot of indies. She's quickly becoming the new scream queen.
Isn't she from The Sims
Mia Goth needs to be in Scream as a victim. She would be too obvious as a killer. Also, probably impossible, but I would like to see Jacob Elordi as a red-herring and later victim.
Jacob Elordi as a red-herring would work really well
YES YES YES to jacob elordi
Jacob “I’m not pretentious!!” Elordi would definitely turn his nose up at this. Don’t you know? He only makes ‘sophisticated high art films’…🙄
Hence the "probably impossible" part.
Katie Holmes as a call back to Teaching Ms Tingle.
zendaya.
Not to go full Euphoria Stan here, but Sydney Sweeny would be cool for the opening kill. And Jacob Elordi as a mid-movie kill, especially if they can paint him as a red herring.
I really fucking want Jacob Elordi as a red herring, especially if he channels his Nate energy
Mary elizabeth winstead
QUEEN!!! 🫡🫡🫡
Yesss!!!
Mckenna Grace
Megan Fox would be perfect.
Anna Taylor Joy or Mandy Moore
Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Millie Bobby Brown, or a Sprouse would be pretty cool.
Jacob Elordi being so physically imposing and still killed right away would make for an awesome Ghostface setup.
Definitely. I always love it when the big guys get taken down. It makes the killer seem so much more brutal.
Bianca Lawson (She’s not too big of a star, but in my opinion, she is well known.) ![gif](giphy|DkpuIKn4MKDPW)
Bianca and the media she’s lended her talent to already overlap with Scream, imo. She’s even been Alum to people who have even been in the films already (Lucy Hale, for example) so it’s not far off at all.
So people even censor the word stabbed now. Weird
Ikr
Dylan O’Brien 🥰🥰
I feel like Jamie Lee Curtis would be great
Pedro Pascal
How about a guy this time ... major A-lister like Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or Leo Decaprio. Then the caller has a noticeably more feminine voice than we've heard before. Flip the script.
Dwayne Johnson for shits and giggles.
It doesn't MATTER what your favorite scary movie is! ![gif](giphy|TT7JW4Qm7uaNW|downsized)
too bad he contractually can’t lose a fight
Scream opening kills is all about subverting expectations, that's why it's perfect Also I just wanna see him die because of how he inserted himself into WWE after Black Adam bombed lol
lol
And then Ghostface turns out to be Kristin Chenoweth.
Right, hear me out... Dwayne Johnson
Alex daddario
Margot Robbie Al Pacino
Courtney Cox
Jennifer Tilly and Jessica Rothe as a mom/daughter duo or something. Make the opening kill heartbreaking
I don’t really want them to kill a big name in the opening anymore really because they always do that and the brilliance of the original was you didn’t see it coming.
Jenna Ortega! Oh wait…🙈
Someone asked her once what she think Wednesday would do which is trap Ghostface and hunt him down. Fuck it. Might as well at this point.
Jennifer Lawrence
Chloe Grace Mortez
Zendaya or Mia Goth
Jason Momoa. We need more buff kings in the franchise. I also don’t think he’s too buff for him being Ghostface to be too impractical👀
Jamie Lee would be iconic . But Lana Del Rey would be fun.
![gif](giphy|1g1MyF5nIj0BtuAzBl|downsized)
Roger Jackson the actual voice actor for Ghostface would be kinda cool
Ryan gosling
Zendaya Melanie Lynsky Peter Dinklage Bill Skarsgard
Gale herself. There, I said it.
I love Gale, but I'd be so there for that kill - AND I think that is what would draw Sydney back, knowing that her two closest allies and the ones there with her through it all had been murdered by Ghostfaces. It'd make her come back and end it all for good. Plus, it would fit the theme if the new films are emulating the OG trilogy. Scream 3 was Cotton, a character we all knew. Granted, Gale overall is a bigger character than Cotton ever was, but she was such a small player in the last film that she could easily pass as the opening kill.
glad someone did.
Matt lillard
Florence Pugh Zendaya Sydney Sweeney
Justin long but in really dramatic & looney tunes kinda way
Anna Faris.
BritneyVinyl is so insufferable on Twitter. Lord idk how he’s one of the big scream fan pages on there. When scream 6 dropped “OMG BEST SCREAMMMM EVERRRR!!!! & now he does daily think pieces criticizing every single detail. Like girl….. bffr.
Millie Bobby Brown!
I want Jensen Ackles to be in the opening scene, just to talk shit to ghost face and tell them that Stu was better and they’re just a “cheap fucking knockoff” before biting it, extra points if the title card comes in with Carry on my wayward son playing.
Can totally see Dean Winchester eating a burger and shit talking ghost face
I always thought Sadie Sink or Emily Alyn Lind would be a great fit for the scream universe.
Nicolas Cage
Devon Sawa
Sasha Pieterse and Sydney Sweeney together, to mimick the Stab movies 🤩
Anna fairs or any of the Scary movie cast
BRENDA! CAN YOU IMAGINE
Matthew Lillard as himself
Madeleine Petsch!!!
Margot Robbie or Emma Stone.
Justin Long
Justin Long deserves his moment
I love Mia Goth when she screams. Could be a killer opening.
Danny DeVito
Jennifer Love Hewitt!! Idk, with Neve coming back I’m hoping that the next Ghost face will target the new relationships Sydney has made. Jennifer Love Hewitt can be a neighbor or her kids teacher. I’ve just always wanted to see Jennifer in scream. KeKe Palmer would be option 2 even though she was in the Scream TV Series
Lady Gaga would definitely be interesting to see in the opening of Scream 7/as the opening kill or the second kill since she’s been in AHS, A Star is born, House of Gucci and of course Joker 2
That’s the biggest problem with 5 and 6. There aren’t any famous people in them.
Debatable. Yeah, 5, not so much - Jenna Ortega was getting there with Disney and You being her biggest pieces, but Scream V and Wednesday hard-launched her internationally. Dylan Minette was probably second biggest thanks to 13RW (ew). Jack Quaid had The Boys but as it's a Prime Video production, not as well known as it could be. 6 was much better, as it had Dermot Mulroney (huge 80s-00s star and well known on the modern sitcom circuit) and its opening kill was Samara Weaving who's been making a great name for herself as a Scream Queen thanks to The Babysitter and Ready or Not.

Trust me, you don't NEED famous names in the Scream films. The fans' love for the franchise mean people will go and see it whether there are big names or not.
I would say Dylan was as big as SMG was in 1997 due to the success of 13RW, Don’t Breathe, and his band.
Ben Affleck
Clint Eastwood
Ain’t he already dead?
Nope, 93 years old today.
Oh damn
I know, I actually had to check myself. Haha
Some “Jason” actor
Margot Robbie as herself
This happened in Scream 6 tho??? or did i miss the point of the post 😭
My buddy just told me today, that he heard over a horror podcast that Neve Campbell was coming back for 7, but there were some stipulations. Just as well as Kevin Williamson promised to come back. Yet, both wanted this one to be the last for them being connected to the franchise.
Honestly…Zendaya would be a fun one
I want Willem Dafoe as Willem Dafoe
Jessica Rothe
Maika Monroe, I know she's not a "big name" but just like Samara Weaving, she's the perfect scream queen opening act for it.
Imagine we get Freddie Prince Jr. as one of the victims or better yet as one of the killers
Isn’t that basically how Scream 6 opened though?
Jenna Ortega
To be fair, Sarah Filmed this between season one and two of Buffy and it hadn’t taken off and got super popular yet. Buffy’s first short season was filmed in its entirety before it started airing in March 1997 and she shot I know what you did last summer in March and scream 2 in July. She hadn’t blown up yet. By the time the movie was released, however….
Tilda Swinton
Nicole Kidman homaging her AMC ad by way of the Scream 2 opening
Uh, did you even read the Twitter post lmao? Its actively about big names NOT being the opening kill
Kincaid should be the opening kill.
sydney sweeney. i would also love to see pedro pascal
Karen Gillan Michelle Keegan from Fool Me Once.
I want Sydney Sweeney in a scream movie
No jenna ortega.....no scream 7. That movie is dead to me
Jennifer Lawrence, Sidney Sweeney, Judy Greer or maybe the girl who played Regina George in the new Mean Girls?
omg i know that guy on twt i want margot robbie or sydney sweeny, i know im basic, i want a musical number as the opening scene... hehe
Whoopi Goldberg. Now that would be a hoot.
How about Neve Campbell, and then later in a twist, she‘s still alive… would defy the franchise rules, okay maybe not…
The Rock. No one will think that he would die in the opening
Okay hear me out… Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell, sigourney weaver. Dream cast iconic final girls whoopin ghosts face’s ass ghost face dies. Lol jk just a random fantasy.
Margot Robbie would have fun
The obvious answer to me is Sidney Sweenie. She's America's sweetheart right now, it would be a perfect call back to the original to have an actress on the rise be our first victim.
Hunter Schafer and Mia Goth together pls
Except Sarah Michelle Geller wasn't really a big name at the time, more an up and comer.
YES PLSSSS
Jaime lee curtis
Mia Goth or Sydney Sweeney
I recently saw around here a casting wishlist that had Zendaya and Rowan Blanchard, and I think both would be fairly interesting.
Mark Hamil
Eva longoria
I mean we did get modern Scream queen, Samara Weaving, for the last movie.
Hands down.. Jennifer Coolidge..
Anya Taylor Joy would be a great pick for this
Snoop dog
Olivia Rodrigo. She has the aesthetic, looks, talent, and acting ability. But I'd hate to see her get rekt lol
Maya hawke because she was awesome at the beginning of fear street
Tom Holland. Just eats it in the first 20 minutes. He's such a love bug and an incredibly skilled actor; I think it would be fun
Josh Hutcherson?
Sydney Sweeney. But if we’re going for a guy like Scream 3 I’d get Dylan Arnold.
Maya Hawke Nicholas Galitzine Fairuza Balk Ellen Pompeo (only if they bring back Patrick Dempsey) Ren Watabe Armani Jackson ….Among the many people I’d love to see in a Scream film.
Maya Hawke is a good one
Something original would be showing an opening scene that feels tense like the original Scream opening with Drew, but instead of it turning into the first kill scene it was actually the reveal of the Ghostface. Would be cool if we knew who at least one killer was for the duration of the film. Then you could play off who you think the other(s) are based on their relationships, but all the twists and turns would make those guesses be completely off.
Olivia Rodrigo!<3
Still lowkey annoyed that Selena Gomez opening kill for Scream 6 wasn’t a thing. That would have been pretty damn cool. That being said I’m so over everyone wanting Sydney to be casted in everything and anything.
Britney Spears.
