Arquette is the first official member from the past of Scream 5. The studio has teased that more legacy cast members of the film could be coming in. All this looks even more possible because Neve Campbell is also in talks to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott. Prescott was the constant target of the Ghostface killer. Prospectively that could continue. That would be a 25-year ordeal of being stalked by many mask-wearing assailants. This is a meta move in most slasher genres. All this typically ends with criminals copying each other, all motivated by their own unique reasons.
