Jenna Ortega, who plays new franchise final girl Tara, breaks her silence on Sidney Prescott actor Neve Campbell not being a part of Scream 6.
Scream 6 star Jenna Ortega, who plays Tara, comments on Neve Campbell's Sidney not being a part of the upcoming installment. After the success of last year's legacy sequel, new characters like Tara, Sam , Chad , and Mindy will be returning in Scream 6. While the newcomers shared the screen with original franchise characters like Sidney, Gale , and Dewey , the upcoming installment will notably not feature Campbell returning to the role due to a pay dispute.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Elle, Ortega addresses Campbell's absence from Scream 6, making her the latest of several franchise stars to comment on the actor's decision not to return. Ortega calls the entire situation "unfortunate," acknowledging Campbell's immense contribution to the franchise's success.
“It was really unfortunate, especially because Neve is the coolest, sweetest, most talented lady. The franchise wouldn’t be what it is without her.”Can The Scream Franchise Succeed Without Sidney Prescott? Sidney has been an integral part of every previous Scream movie, and she is arguably just as recognizable as the iconic Ghostface.
The first reactions to Scream 6 would suggest that the franchise can indeed push forward with the newer cast members leading the charge. Depending on what happens to Gale and Kirby, the upcoming film could be the movie that fully passes the baton to new cast members like Barrera and Ortega. That being said, it's certainly possible that Sidney could return later down the line in future installments.
It's been said that the upcoming movie will handle Campbell's absence in a respectful way, and it does sound as if the door will be left open for her potential franchise return. Campbell herself has expressed interest in reprising her Scream franchise role, should she be presented with an acceptable salary offer.
