We know that any time there is a new cast member, we automatically expect them to be Ghostface. The only question is how many there are going to be. They've never thrown us a curveball and make a killer someone from a previous film.
shareI wanted that for the longest time.
As a matter of face I thought Kirby should've been the killer for Scream 6. An unexpected twist and Hayden has the chops to pull it off.
I was actually wondering if 6 was gonna take that route. IIRC they did kinda hint that might be the case at one point, as a red herring.
shareThere needs to be a good reason for someone to turn bad. Maybe Gale Weathers could try to kill Sidney and the reason is that she's sick of living in constant fear of being killed, so killing Sidney would end that. It's kinda stupid, but as I said, any new cast member will always be considered killer and that would change it up.
shareIt seems like they have been hinting that Stu is still alive. Could have him return as Ghostface!
shareNot sure I'd want that (much as I love Lillard and his performance as Stu), but I wouldn't rule it out. One thing's for sure, whatever we might think as far as the story goes, Lillard would be entertaining as hell!
shareThere's solid evidence that he's dead. Everything else is silly fan speculation.
shareAgreed. They try their best to connect them to previous stories. Nancy was always a figure in some way in Billy's life, and Sidney knew her too, presumably many others did, even though she wasn't shown until 2. Roman was revealed to be the puppetmaster behind it all, lurking in the background, involved in Maureen's death, but not shown until 3. Sidney probably spent lots of time with Kate and Jill growing up, though never mentioned or seen until 4. They put Amber in Stu's house. Richie's family of course existed prior to 6.
I feel like 6 hinted at a possibility of Gale becoming Ghost Face "some day." But I just can't see her going after Sidney.
Maybe Ghost Face will turn out to be the twins, as a way of branching them off from the Carpenter sisters. Say they killed them off-screen even. Heck, could even do all that and have Ghost Face be Sam and Tara's mom.
I'm calling it now: Heather Matarazzo should be the killer. Everyone has forgotten about her and that would definitely be a twist. And she wouldn't actually appear in the movie until it's revealed at the end.
share^I feel like that won't actually happen, but I'm with you on both counts, that'd be awesome. And it'd be cool to have it be someone from outside the circle of suspicion. However, that kind of reveal, where they don't show her at all until then, would also make the movie lose something that gives them rewatch value: Going back and trying to figure out which killer is behind the mask in certain scenes based on who else is in the scene.

Well she's already got Joker face down cold, so maybe...
