Now that Matthew Lillard is returning as Stu Macher in Scream 7, there's only one way this can work without undoing his death in the first movie.

Matthew Lillard’s character, Stu Macher, in 1996’s Scream has become an icon since the film revitalized the horror genre way back when. Stu was a villain, yes, but he was a lovable villain that had some hilarious one-liners.

Matthew Lillard, who played Stuart ‘Stu’ Macher in the first 1996 Scream movie, is returning to the franchise for Spyglass/Paramount’s Scream 7.
