How Scream 6 Can Bring Sidney Prescott To The Forefront
Scream 2022 introduced a diverse new cast of characters to the decades-long franchise, but some movie-goers felt the movie's original final girl, Sidney Prescott, deserved more screen time - here's how Scream 6 can bring her back to the forefront. The movie was certainly a hit that rejuvenated the franchise, and there are many who appreciated the film focusing primarily on new characters. However, a large part of the marketing was based on the return of the legacy cast, so it would make sense for Sidney to take more of the spotlight as the franchise continues. With Neve Campbell expressing interest in appearing in the sequel, some people are already wondering how one of horror’s most successful survivors might find herself up against Ghostface once again.
Every previous Scream film has centered around Sidney Prescott, so Scream 2022 making her a supporting role was a bold choice. The new Scream final girls, Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), showed audiences a few unique twists in their respective roles and that the series has legs to stand on besides Sidney’s. Scream 2022 even made a point to mention that just because another Ghostface pops up doesn’t mean Sidney should come running. It took the death of her lifelong friend, and legacy character, Dewey Riley (David Arquette) to bring her back to Woodsboro. So it stands to reason something equally as extreme and Sidney-centric would have to occur in the next film for the franchise’s first scream queen to be caught in the midst of another set of murders.
