Scream Star Breaks Silence About Shocking Return in New Movie, Calling it a “Gamble”

Scream star Matthew Lillard teases the ambitious 'gamble' that's bringing him back for Scream 7, thirty years later.

We’ve been seeing a lot of Matthew Lillard again in the last few years. After being one of the most famous young actors of the 1990s, Lillard spent most of the 2000s and 2010s either playing Shaggy Rogers in live-actionmovies or voicing the character in various animatedprojects.

However, in the late 2010s and 2020s, Lillard has jumped back on the scene, appearing in projects like theLillard has also made a return to the horror genre that helped launch his career, as the antagonist in the horror game adaptationmovie . His character, Stu Macher, fiendishly partnered with Billy Loomis as the Ghostface Killer, confounding investigators and. That said, Stu was very much dead by the end of the film, as Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott dropped an entire television set onto his head. So, how is Lillard coming back foris released – not even to his closest loved ones. “Not even my wife. Not even my kids,” Lillard told. “One of the joys of this franchise is sitting in the dark with the entire world discovering what the twist is this time. To ruin that for anyone is to ruin one of the great joys of going to the cinema.”Scream 7’s Original Ghostface Plan Before Melissa Barrera’s Firing Revealed didn’t need legacy characters like Stu. However, it turned out to be a subterfuge: Williamson secretly reached out to Lillard with the casting call to return. “I will say this: It didn’t really matter to me in what capacity Kevin wanted me to come back,” Lillard explained. “At the end of the day, I think the reason I was so excited about it was ’cause I had been fighting to come back. I was openly campaigning for years.”There have been a lot of theories about how Stu is returning in Scream 7. Lillard’s co-star Skeet Ulrich has already made a return in Scream V and Scream VI, as a ghostly hallucination of Billy Loomis, speaking to his daughter, Sam . That could be a way for Stu to come back; we could get the classic slasher twist of the killer not really having been dead, or something entirely more ambitious. Scream is a meta-layered franchise that has even had its own parallel movie-within-a-movie with the “Stab” franchise, which dramatizes the events of previous Scream movies. Lillard could easily return as an actor playing a fictional Stu Macher – maybe even going all the way meta by playing himself, “Matthew Lillard” playing “Stu Macher” in some kind of Stab legacy sequel event. That would explain how other Scream veterans like Scott Foley’s Roman Bridger , or even David Arquette’s Dewey Riley , are all returning. Based on what Matthew Lillard teases about the “gamble” of his return, all of the above could be possible. “There was so much anxiety, so much fear, so much insecurity about stepping back into something that, frankly — and it’s yet to be determined — could go really poorly,” Lillard says. “I mean, if people hate the movie, hate me, hate Stu, question why I came back, all of that weighs on me heavily… It’s a gamble of legacy. I wouldn’t want to hurt the legacy at all. And if I thought it would, I wouldn’t be here.”An Under-Appreciated Martial Arts Masterpiece Is on Its Way to Hulu
