Melissa Barrera Says She Would Return to Scream If Spyglass Leaves
Actress Melissa Barrera stated she would return to the Scream franchise if Spyglass Media Group were to leave, following her 2023 firing over social media posts.
Barrera Addresses Franchise Future
During a recent interview with JustWatch, Melissa Barrera confirmed she had an amazing time making the movies. She explained that her refusal to return is directed at the current rights holder rather than the films themselves. The actress noted that she would not go back even if Spyglass issued an apology.
Reasons Behind The Conflict
Barrera faced difficulty after leadership labeled her social media posts as antisemitic during the war in Gaza. She argued that the company made a point to label her something she is not without offering an apology. Barrera stated she does not think Spyglass currently has the ability to honor Wes Craven's legacy.
Conditions For Returning
The actress expressed hope that the franchise might eventually move into hands that better honor the original creator's legacy. She indicated that a change in ownership could make her willing to work on future installments again. Barrera continues to love the franchise despite the ongoing dispute with the production company.
