Summary
I’m happy to hear any casting announcements forScream 7, but I just might be the most thrilled aboutEthan Embry being cast in the upcominghorrorsequel. Embry’s credits includethe hilarious and clever cult hit filmEmpire Records, the Netflix comedyGrace and Frankie, and the dark seriesSneaky Pete.He’s a talented actor who can switch between comedy, thriller, and drama, no problem, and I think he’s a perfectScream 7addition along withlegacy characters like Scott Foley’s Roman Bridger.
AsDeadlinereported, there are no plot details or explanations about Embry’s character. While it will be a while before fans find out exactly who he’s portraying, I haveone idea about which character the actor should playand I think it works with the rest of the slasher story.
Who Should Ethan Embry Play In Scream 7?
Ethan Embryshould play Sidney Prescott’s daughter’s teacher or Sidney Prescott’s coworker.Although there aresome questions about Isabel May playing Sidney’s daughter, I’m still excited to see this mother/daughter dynamic. I think it would be interesting if Embry played an English or History teacher who is smart, cool, and encourages his students to work hard but have fun, too. I also think he could play a coworker of Sidney’s who she has bonded with. Maybe their kids are friends, or maybe they just get along well.
Most of all, I thinkEmbry’s character could be a red herring for Ghostface. Maybe he has a crush on Sidney, which would make audiences wonder if he’s trying to get close to her so he can carry out an evil and dangerous plan. If Embry played a character who is close to Sidney and seems kind yet mysterious, that would make him fun to watch. I would say that severalGhostface fan theories seem to be on the right track, and it would also make sense if a teacher was the villain this time around. But I think that there will be a few fake-outs before the big and exciting reveal.
Embry’sScream 7character could be yetanother victim of Ghostface, and I know that the body count has to be high to satisfy horror fans. While fans wonder if Sidney’s husband Mark Evans (Joel McHale) could bethe first kill in the upcomingScreamsequel, Embry’s character could also be the first to die. Whether Embry’s character makes it to the end of the movie or not, I think he’s going to be someone who knows Sidney well and cares about her. I would hope that she has at least a few good people in her life after the tragedies she has encountered over the past few decades.
What Other New Characters Should Be In Scream 7?
With so many new actors being added to the cast, fromLive with Kelly and Markhost Mark ConsuelostoJoel McHale as Sidney Prescott’s husband, it’s the perfect time tothink about the fresh faces inScream 7cast. While the younger actors are playing Sidney’s children and most likely their friends and classmates, it’s a little trickier to try to guess who the older ones are portraying.
Of course,one of the new cast members is Ghostface, and it’s fun to try to imagine whether it could be Sidney’s husband or someone else in her life. The other cast members are likely playingthe parents of Sidney’s kids' friends, teachers at their school, and possibly people who work with Sidney and/or Gale Weathers. SinceGale should be front and center inScream 7, I’d love to see Gale have a smart and funny new co-worker. Maybe Gale is living in Woodsboro again or still in New York City, but either way, she could co-host a podcast or news show with one of the new cast members. There is just over one year untilScream 7’s February 27th, 2026 release date, and I can’t wait to see who Ghostface is… or if a few characters wear the iconic black and white mask.
