Scream franchise.In late January, it was reported that his character would be returning for Scream 7, despite being presumed dead ever since the first film.

The actor, who has enjoyed a career resurgence of late thanks to films like Five Nights At Freddy’s, remained a fan favourite and spoke about coming back to one of his most iconic roles.During a panel at ’90s Con, moderated by People, he revealed: “I will say, I can’t say anything about it, obviously.

But I am very excited and slightly terrified to be back because all I can do is really screw up a legacy that we have”.He continued: “I could really suck, and so that’s my fear.

My fear is that I come back and sort of punish something that I could never have touched and been just fine. I hope I don’t ‘F’ it up for everyone”.
