Actor Mason Gooding, who plays Chad Meeks-Martin in the latest Scream movies, believes that Scream 7 will still happen despite controversies surrounding the beleaguered sequel. Despite 2022’s Scream and 2023’s Scream VI serving to reignite interest in the long-running horror franchise, plans for a seventh installment began to fall apart when Melissa Barrera was controversially fired from the role of Sam Carpenter in November last year. Not long after, Jenna Ortega also dropped out of the project, citing scheduling issues. Meanwhile, director Christopher Landon followed suit by announcing his departure in December 2023.
