While Bloody Disgusting broke the news of Weaving and Revolori joining the cast ofScream 6, details on their characters were not shared. As fans of Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett likely know already, Weaving previously worked with the duo onReady or Not, in which she played a newlywed named Grace who finds self being hunted by her spouse’s wealthy Satan-worshipping family. As previously mentioned, Revolori is likely best known for playing Flash Thompson in Marvel Studios’Spider-Manfilms starring Tom Holland, but he’s also received praise for his work on other projects such as Wes Anderson’sThe Grand Budapest Hotel.
Weaving and Revolori join a cast that already includes a mixture of returningScreamveterans and newcomers, such Courteney Cox, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Hayden Panettiere, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Dermot Mulroney, andMission: Impossiblestar Henry Czerny. Sadly,Neve Campbell will be sitting outScream 6over reported salary disputes, marking the first time she will not appear in one of the franchise’s feature film entries. Production onScream 6has already started and while little is know about the plot, the story will reportedly be moving from the iconic town of Woodsboro to New York City.
SettingScream 6in New York Cityis largely considered a good move for the franchise, which aside from the third installment has always taking place mostly in Woodsboro. It’s not like the franchise has been suffering at the box office, but ifScream 6is going to improve on it’s predeessors, setting Ghostface’s next rampage is the Big Apple is certainly one way to keep things fresh. Ortega has already promisedScream 6will feature the most violent Ghostface yet, so audiences likely have high expectations for the sequel.
Scream 6is scheduled to release in theaters on July 02, 2025.
