Patrick Dempsey is teasing that he may be concerned in Scream 7 and can reprise his function within the slasher movie.
Dempsey originated the function of Mark Kincaid in 2000’s Scream 3, taking part in a detective investigating the latest Ghostface murders.
With a seventh installment of the Scream franchise underway, Dempsey confirmed he’s in talks to reprise his function.
“I’m ready on the script,” Dempsey stated on the As we speak present.
Dempsey’s Mark survived Ghostface’s assaults in Scream 3, and in 2022’s Scream, it’s revealed Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott has married and had three kids with him.
“There was a dialog about it,” he added. “I haven’t seen something but. So, we’ll see what occurs.”
Dempsey recalled working with Campbell once more on Gray’s Anatomy in Season 9, taking part in Derek Shepherd’s sister, Liz.
Al Roker requested Dempsey if he was open to returning to the Scream franchise, to which the actor stated, “I imply, you understand, it’s all the time good to have a job.”
Scream 7 is set to open on February 27, 2026, and Kevin Williamson and Neve Campbell will return to the franchise they began in 1996. Williamson created the franchise and can direct the seventh installment, with Man Busick set to put in writing the script.
Campbell appeared within the first 5 installments of the Scream franchise earlier than strolling away from Scream VI over feeling undervalued.
Producers had been attempting to maneuver away from Campbell’s Sidney Prescott, however in November 2023, they fired new lead star Melissa Barrera over social media posts that had been perceived as antisemitic. Shortly after, Barrera’s co-star Jenna Ortega dropped out of Scream VII and left the franchise in limbo.
With Barrera and Ortega out, producers seemed again to proceed Sidney Prescott’s story and supplied Campbell a return to the franchise.
“We’re going to comply with Sidney,” Campbell informed Leisure Tonight. “They did pitch the idea to me, and it’s the rationale that I jumped on board.”
She continued, “I like these films, they’re a lot enjoyable to be part of, I’m so grateful for them, I may by no means have imagined being part of a film that will have lasted this many many years.”
