Even though not every character from past Scream movies will appear in this one, one surprising name has now been confirmed. A character who most people felt was impossible is set to return, but this new addition to the cast risks making Scream 7 messy.

Here’s a look at the cast of the Scream franchise, with Matthew Lillard returning as Ghostface killer Stu Macher from the original film.

Scream 7 will mark the returns of several characters, including Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), Roman Bridger (Scott Foley), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette). How they will factor into the plot of the movie is unclear — Deadline notes the trio of characters are “returning in a surprise way.”

The "Scream" franchise has never lacked for imagination, but the writers of "Scream 7" will have their hands full after the latest revelation. Deadline is reporting that the newest installment of the horror movie franchise will bring back a character who died during the last movie.

Birmingham native Courteney Cox is in the neighboring state of Georgia to portray her most iconic big-screen character for the seventh time.
