Though talked about in newer installments, Patrick Dempsey hasn’t performed Mark Kincaid since 2000’s Scream 3.
When Neve Campbell lastly signed on for Scream 7 after a grasping dispute over cash (that greed falling on the studio, not Campbell), it instantly gave us hope for the film. Whereas the franchise has tried to maneuver on with out her or has moved her to a supporting legacy character, it’s tough to think about it succeeding with out Sidney Prescott. However with Sidney comes her husband, Mark Kincaid, performed by Patrick Dempsey in Scream 3…proper? Because it seems, we may even see the detective — final seen settling in for a film with Sidney, Gale and Dewey — but once more.
Showing on Immediately, Patrick Dempsey confirmed that some discussions have taken place for him to reprise Kincaid for the upcoming Scream 7, saying he’s on the level the place he’s simply ready for the screenplay to be delivered. He added, “There has been a conversation about it. I haven’t seen anything yet. So, we’ll see what happens.”
Clearly that is removed from a affirmation that Patrick Dempsey will seem within the subsequent Scream film, however given his continued reference to Neve Campbell’s character – he was briefly talked about in 2022’s Scream and final 12 months’s Scream VI, with it being revealed that he and Sidney married and had youngsters someday in between – then it looks like a given at this level. The character might get away with a passing point out earlier than, however with the stakes upped, it might seem to be a on condition that the filmmakers must deliver him again not only for the story but in addition for the fanbase.
Talks, too, have emerged about Courtney Cox returning as Gale Weathers, which in fact would add to the legacy really feel of the movie. One curious potential return can be that of Stu Macher, one of many killers from the unique Scream, with Matthew Lillard saying there’s no technique to affirm that his character died. I don’t essentially see that understanding in a logical approach (regardless of horror film logic), however bringing again others from the unique trilogy can be a pleasant contact, as seen with Billy Loomis’s shock return in 2022’s Scream. As for Kincaid, I’m positive most followers would welcome him again after being absent for a minimum of 25 years.
