Fans can expect familiar characters and intriguing plot twists in the upcoming film.

Recently, Scott Foley was confirmed as part of the expanding cast for Scream 7, the latest chapter in the beloved horror series. Although specifics about his character are tightly under wraps, it has been disclosed that Foley will be returning as Roman Bridger, a character he played in Scream 3. In a recent interview, the actor revealed a few details about what to expect from his character’s involvement in the upcoming movie.

The Scream franchise has consistently entertained audiences with its meta-commentary, self-aware humor, and skilled twists that redefine slasher films. Notably, Scream 7 marks the return of Neve Campbell’s iconic character, Sidney Prescott, who notably did not feature in Scream 6. Additionally, viewers will be introduced to Sidney’s husband, portrayed by Joel McHale. This latest installment is also expected to feature returning villains from previous films, which could create suspenseful connections to the franchise’s history.

Roman Bridger’s Limited Role in Scream 7

Fans have raised questions about Roman Bridger’s potential role in the storyline, prompting Foley to discuss his character’s place in the film during an appearance on LIVE with Kelly and Mark. He shared insights from his conversation with Kevin Williamson, the director of Scream 7, who expressed his desire for Foley to return for a small part.

“I had just had a conversation with Kevin Williamson who’s directing — wrote the first few Screams, is directing this one. And he wanted me to come back and play a small part. And I was so excited to sort of revisit this character even though he died in the first one.”

Foley referenced his character’s demise in Scream 3, adding an intriguing layer to his return. His mention of “sort of”revisiting the character hints at the possibility that Bridger might not be taking a traditional role. Instead, he could appear as a flashback or a psychological experience for another character.

Moreover, Matthew Lillard has also confirmed his presence in Scream 7, despite his character, Stu Macher, being killed in the original film. This could hint that both characters, Stu and Roman, may return in similar ways to how other deceased characters have been incorporated in previous installments, such as Billy Loomis in Scream 5. The indication that Foley will have a minor role suggests he will make brief appearances rather than being central to the plot of Scream 7.
