‘Scream 7’ adds Scott Foley from ‘Scream 3’ but is he Roman?

Ghost of Scott Foley ghost?

More than two decades after playing the role of Roman Bridger in the 2000s Scream 3Foley is now returning to the franchise for Scream 7. Entertainment weekly have learned. Plot information is kept strictly under wrapping, so it is unclear whether he plays exactly the same character. However, his presence is a springboard for theories.

Foley’s Roman first appeared in Scream 3 As the director of the film within the film, Stab 3: Return to WoodsboroThe latest rate of the Hollywood adaptations of the Woodsboro murder. Roman later revealed himself to be the half -brother of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) through their mother, Maureen Prescott (Lynn Mcree). He also served as the ghost murderer of Scream 3 and was shot to death by Dewey (David Arquette). Although Roman miraculously averted dead several times, the last blow was a bullet in the head. Doesn’t see him go away from it.

However, if Foley really returns as Roman, there is a precedent. In the fifth Scream Movies, Skeet Ulrich’s Billy Loomis returned in ghost form to haunt her daughter, Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera). Ghost Billy came back in We scream. We know at least Scream 7 Will focus on Sidney in a bigger way and address her family, including her daughter (Isabel May) and husband (Joel Mchale).

Maybe Foley could play Roman’s Secret Twin, and another half -brother Sidney never knew about, or another hero. We need an exhaustive crazy weathers investigating TV special to get to the bottom of this.
