Jenna Ortega reveals the real reason she left CRI 7 In the middle of the fallout from Melissa Barrera drawing from the franchise.
In a new interview, the Wednesday Star opened on what led to his release from the film after his co-star Barrera was cut off from the film after his comments on the War of Israel-Hamas.
“It had nothing to do with salary or planning,” said Ortega in an interview with The cut. “Melissa’s stuff happened, and it was all kinds of fall.”
When Ortega left his role in the Scream franchise, directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin had also left the project.
“If Scream VII was not going to be with this team of directors and the people I fell in love, so that did not seem to be the right decision for me in my career at the time, “she added.
Barrera was prevented from reproducing her role as Sam Carpenter in a third film after she went to social networks to ask for a cease-fire. The production company behind the film, Spyglass Media Group, said in a press release that they had “zero tolerance for anti -Semitism or incentive to hatred in any form” and had abandoned it.
CRI 7 Now go ahead. The star of the OG Neve Campbell resumes his role as Sidney Prescott, and Kevin Williamson directs the Slasher.
CRI 7 should open its doors on February 27, 2026, and Kevin Williamson and Neve Campbell will return to the franchise they started in 1996. Williamson created the franchise and will direct the seventh episode, with Guy Buick to write the script.
Courteney Cox should also resume its role as a Weathers scabies from the original film by Slasher. Mason Gooding will resume his role as Chad Meeks-Martin. The newcomer Isabel May will play the daughter of Sidney, with Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, McKenna Grace, Sam Rechner and Anna Camp also on board in new non -disclosed roles.
