What Joel McHale’s Casting As Sidney’s Husband Means For Scream 7
She Isn’t Married To Detective Mark Kincaid
Joel McHale’s casting as Sidney’s husband, Mark, is surprising to say the least, since he was widely speculated to be an existing character. Early on inScream(2022), Sidney is seen jogging with a baby stroller when she gets a call from Dewey and, during their conversation,she mentions that she has three daughtersand her husband’s name is Mark. This led to speculation about him being Patrick Dempsey’s Mark Kincaid, a detective who investigated theGhostface murders inScream 3, which ends with Kincaid, Sidney, Dewey, and Gale watching a movie together.
Who Sidney Prescott Is Married To In Scream
Actress Neve Campbell says who she believes her character Sidney Prescott is married to in the newest Scream film, where she is now a mother as well.
Instead, Sidney’s husband, Mark Evans, is a completely new character played by Joel McHale. Any additional character details are under wraps, along with the plot ofScream 7. Otherwise,McHale is perhaps best known as Jeff Wingerfrom the NBC sitcomCommunity, a role which he will reprise in the upcomingCommunitymovie. He also currently stars in the Fox sitcomAnimal Controland recurs as the abusive chefDavid Fields inThe Bear.
Our Take On Joel McHale’s Casting As Sidney’s Husband In Scream 7
Remember Billy Loomis?
Joel McHale is best known for sitcoms, which makes him a somewhat surprising choice forScream 7. However, he has played a police officer in the 2014 horror filmDeliver Us from Evil, had a recurring role in the second season of Netflix’s horror-comedySanta Clarita Diet, and starred in the slasher comedyIt’s a Wonderful Knife. In turn,he should be able to strike that balancebetween slasher and satirical comedy that theScreamfranchise is known for.
As for McHale’s character inScream 7,Sidney certainly doesn’t make the best choices of romantic partners, see her dating Billy Loomis in the originalScream, who turned out to be one of the Ghostface killers. This certainly doesn’t bode well for Sidney’s husband, Mark Evans, who could end up being one of the killers inScream 7, echoing a past storyline, as the franchise often likes to do.
