Marlon Wayans is expressing interest in casting Melissa Barrera in Scary Movie 7<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The actress was fired from Scream<\/em> after the sixth installment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Barrera previously expressed interest in joining the parody franchise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Scary Movie<\/em><\/a> was just released and Marlon Wayans<\/a> is already plotting a cameo for the next sequel.<\/p>\n The franchise from the Wayans family has always taken inspiration from the Scream<\/em> films, and the sixth Scary Movie<\/em> is no exception, as its plot is an ongoing parody of 2022’s Scream<\/em>. And while Sara (Olivia Rose Keegan) serves as a stand-in for Melissa Barrera<\/a>‘s Scream<\/em> character, Wayans is bummed to hear too late that the fired Scream<\/em> star would have been down to do his film.<\/p>\n \u201cI wish I\u2019d heard about that,” Wayans told Variety<\/em><\/a>. “That would have been a lot of fun. I definitely would\u2019ve tried to make that work. That would\u2019ve been a masterful cameo. Maybe for Part 7!\u201d<\/p>\n In the fifth and sixth installments of Scream <\/em>(which, like Scary Movie<\/em>, were released by Paramount), Barrera played Sam Carpenter, the daughter of original Ghostface Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich). But, despite being the new lead scream queen, she was dropped<\/a> by the production company Spyglass Media Group for making pro-Palestine statements on social media and criticizing the actions of Israel in its war with Hamas. Scream 7 <\/em>would then undergo a full creative overhaul, and even with mostly poor reviews the movie outgrossed Scream VI<\/em>‘s debut by $20 million.<\/p>\n
