Joel McHale Joins 'Scream 7' As Neve Campbell's Husband—And Fans Are All Thinking The Same Thing

The Community star has been tapped to play Sidney Prescott's husband in the upcoming Scream sequel—and fans who assumed she was married to Patrick Dempsey's character are baffled.

The Scream 7 casting and production is off to a rocky start.

Deadline first reported that the movie has moved on to a new Mark. Patrick Dempsey's Mark Kincaid character will be nowhere to be seen, and the series has cast Community's Joel McHale as a completely different character, also named Mark, to be the husband of Neve Campbell's character Sidney Prescott.


This announcement came as a shock to many Scream series fans, as it had long been assumed that Sidney Prescott's husband "Mark" was the Mark Kincaid (played by Dempsey), and not another person. Dempsey was first seen in Scream 3 as Kincaid, a Hollywood detective.

Later installments of the series mentioned Prescott's husband Mark, and most fans had assumed that Mark to be Kincaid the detective. Not so, apparently.

What adds to this whole confusion is that last fall, Dempsey signaled that he was at least entertaining the idea of signing up for the Kincaid role again. "I'm waiting on the script," he said back then. "There has been a conversation about it. I haven't seen anything yet, so we'll see what happens."

Guess negotiations failed.

People were quick to express their disappointment.



Others tried to backpedal, saying it wasn't certain that Kincaid was the "Mark" in question.

Others were dubious.



Some people pointed out that folks need to get over Dempsey's original role.



Many people thought this didn't bode well for the future of the Scream series.

The film, which starts production soon, has a tentative opening date in February 2026.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
