Neve Campbell on Returning to ‘Scream’ Amid Franchise Fallout: “I Would Not be Surprised to Get a Call”

After losing stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega and director Christopher Landon, all eyes are on Neve Campbell: "If they were to come back to me, it would have to be with a respectful offer that I felt was in keeping with what I bring to this franchise."

The Scream franchise has lost a lot of blood in recent months but the beloved star who played Sidney Prescott in five films over 25 years isn’t ruling out a return. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Neve Campbell on Saturday afternoon at the BAFTA Tea Party in Beverly Hills, where she offered up a “we’ll see” to whether she would reprise her franchise leading role in the near future. “But at the same time, I made a strong statement a few years ago, which is I did not believe that the way that I was treated would’ve happened if I had been a male and that I deserve a certain thing for having carried this franchise for as long as I have.”
