Jack Quaid addresses the possibility of reprising his role in the highly anticipatedScream 7. WithScreamveterans Kevin Williamson and Guy Busick at the helm, the seventh installment of the horror franchise is set for a harrowing return with Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott once again leading the charge against the enduring murders and mystery of the iconic masked killer Ghostface. Quaid’s character, Richie Kirsch, was unveiled as one of the Ghostface killers in the 2022 reboot.Scream 7is setto arrive in theaters on June 30, 2025.
In a recent interview withET Online,Quaid responded to questions about his potential involvement inScream 7.Quaid’s Ghostface reveal inScreamwas an interesting twist for the slasher franchise, largely due to his established reputation as an awkward, yet charming actor in roles likeThe BoysandStar Trek: Lower Decks. His latest role inCompanioncontinues to weaponize his “nice guy” persona. Read what he had to say below:
I don’t know for sure, yet. I don’t know… I’ll keep my mouth closed on that one.
What This Means For Scream 7
A Killer Lineup Continues To Grow
Quaid’s ability to subvert expectations made his Ghostface reveal one of the most unnerving intheScreamfranchise. His transformation fromthe sweet and awkward boyfriend to a sadistic and calculated murderer was disturbingly effective—something that also applies to his role inCompanion. In Drew Hancock’s latest horror comedy, Quaid plays a seemingly charming boyfriend whose true nature is far more sinister, a role he himself has described as being “cut from the same cloth” as his Ghostface killer (viaCinemaBlend).
I’m Officially Worried About Scream 7 With All These Dead Characters Coming Back
The latest casting update for Scream 7 brings yet another dead character back, and I’m now officially worried about where the movie is going.
Scream 7is already set tobring back several major franchise survivors and killers. Alongside Campell’s Sidney, Courtney Cox and David Arquette are also reprising their roles. This is in spite of Arquette’s Dewey being killed off inScreamby Mikey Madison’s Ghostface, who was the equally disturbed girlfriend of Quaid’s Ritchie. In more surprising news, Matthew Lillard is set toreturn as one of the originalScreamkillers, Stu Macher.Scream 3’s Ghostface, Roman Bridger, may not be far behind, as Scott Foley has joined the cast ofScream 7in a yet-to-be-revealed role.
Our Take On Jack Quaid In Scream 7
Does Scream Have Room for Another Ghostface?
Quaid has proven his talent for flipping from lovable everyman to cold-blooded killer in an instant. While this ability continues to shock audiences, the surprise factor surely diminishes over time as more people recognize his range. If he were to return inScream 7, he wouldn’t be able to deliver the same jaw-dropping twist that madehis Ghostface revealinScreamso effective. I think Quaid would still be a fun addition toScream 7ashe always brings a comedic edge to his characters that could spice up a quick flashback or cameo.
