While Scream 7 is happening with a new director, it looks like they might need a new lead. Because Melissa Barrera is reportedly out as Sam Carpenter.
Throughout the lsat two Scream movies, newcomer Sam has become the new final girl, especially after Neve Campbell departed Scream VI. But a new report by SlashFilm claims that Barrera has "quietly" left her role in the slasher property. The split reportedly is related to comments she made on social media related to the current conflict between Hamas and Israel.
