Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson Talk ‘Scream 5’; “It Would Be Challenging”
With Wes Craven gone, can the Scream franchise continue? Should it?
It’s been 20 years since Scream changed the game and five years since the most recent installment of the series was released, and many horror fans have spent those five years wondering if we’ll ever see the iconic Ghostface mask back up on the big screen. Every once in a while, one of the key players in the franchise is asked about its future, and since it’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about the potential-but-unlikely project, we thought you might be interested to read the most recent comments from Kevin Williamson and Neve Campbell.
Speaking with ET Online this week, Williamson and Campbell reflected on the franchise, and naturally, they were asked about the likelihood of its return.
“Wes and I, when we were starting Scream 4, we had plans for Scream 5 and 6,” Williamson told the outlet. “Now without Wes, I feel like you have to sort of answer the questions of how and why, and I don’t know how to do it without Wes and I don’t know why to do it.”
Campbell had much the same answer, but she didn’t rule out Scream 5 entirely.
“It would be tough to do it without Wes,” Campbell said. “His vision was so clear and he was so good. I think it would be painful. It doesn’t mean it would never happen, but it would be challenging. Nobody is talking about it at the moment.”
Williamson also noted that if someone could figure out how to do it, he’d gladly buy a ticket.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
