A new ‘Scream’ (2022) poster shows ‘Ghostface’ looming over the franchise's new and classic characters. The masked murderer, also known as the Woodsboro Killer, debuted in the original Scream in 1996 and appeared in all three sequels directed by A Nightmare on Elm Street's Wes Craven. However, the identity has been adopted by several characters. The upcoming fifth installment, also titled Scream, will be the first in the series not helmed by Craven, who passed away in 2015, as Ready or Not's Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have now taken over.
Set 25 years after the first film's events, Scream returns to the fictional town of Woodsboro, where a new killer has donned Ghostface's iconic ensemble and begun targeting a group of teenagers to dig up secrets from the town's murderous past. Original stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Marley Shelton, and Roger L. Jackson return for the relaunch of the franchise. Prominent newcomers include Melissa Barrera (In the Heights), Mason Gooding (Booksmart), Jenna Ortega (You), Jack Quaid (The Boys), and Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why).
A new poster for the upcoming Scream movie now shows Ghostface looming over many of the series' new and returning characters with his signature bloody blade in hand. Many of the aforementioned actors are also present, from Campbell, Cox, and Arquette's returning trio to new characters played by Barrera, Quaid, Ortega, and more.
Since many characters have donned the trademark black cloak and white mask and terrorized the town of Woodsboro throughout the series, there have been multiple theories predicting who the new Ghostface Killer might be. Sidney (Campbell), Tara (Ortega), Sam (Barrera), and Richie (Quaid) have been the most popular choices.
