The first trailer<\/strong> for Scream 7 <\/strong>has reignited backlash across social media, as fans continue to protest Spyglass Media\u2019s firing of Melissa Barrera<\/strong> in 2023. The actress, who led Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023), was removed from the franchise following her online comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n Spyglass said it had \u201czero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form.\u201d Following her exit, co-star Jenna Ortega also departed the project, later explaining that the film \u201cwas all kind of falling apart\u201d without Barrera.<\/p>\n After the trailer\u2019s release, many fans voiced frustration online. One user wrote, \u201cThis is missing two very important women,\u201d referring to Barrera and Ortega.<\/p>\n Another said, \u201cWhere the Scream franchise ended for me,\u201d sharing an image from Scream VI. Posts calling for a boycott quickly spread, with one fan writing, \u201cBoycott Scream 7 and support Scary Movie 6 instead.\u201d<\/p>\n Several users promoted Barrera\u2019s other films, including Your Monster (2024) and The Copenhagen Test, premiering December 27. A post read, \u201cReminder to everyone: Your Monster starring Melissa Barrera is streaming on HBO Max and Hulu.\u201d Supporters also highlighted her upcoming projects as alternatives to Scream 7.<\/p>\n In addition to fan reactions, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement launched a campaign against the film, joined by 22 arts and advocacy groups. Others, however, defended the filmmakers and returning stars, arguing that the franchise \u201cdoes not need anyone but Ghostface,\u201d emphasizing that the series\u2019 longevity relies on its legacy and consistent reinvention rather than any single performer\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n Set for release on February 27, 2026, Scream 7 stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and new cast members Joel McHale, Isabel May, and Mckenna Grace, with Kevin Williamson returning as director.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Fans Are Calling for Scream 7 Boycott After Trailer Release, Here\u2019s Why<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first trailer for Scream 7 has reignited backlash across social media, as fans continue to protest Spyglass Media\u2019s firing of Melissa Barrera in 2023.
