Fans are convinced that Selena Gomez is joining Scream 5.
The “Lose You to Love Me” singer’s latest Instagram activity has Scream fans speculating that she just might be joining the cast of the upcoming film. Rumors began swirling a few days ago when a Selena Gomez fandom Twitter account shared screenshots showing that four main cast members of the film had followed the 28-year-old pop star.
Per the screenshots, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Melissa Barrera, and Jenna Ortega all appear to be following the superstar. (At the time of posting, this is still the case.) What’s more, fans believe Cox seemingly confirmed Gomez’s casting in a since-deleted Instagram comment. “Can’t wait to meet you,” the Scream alum wrote in a since-deleted comment under the photo, leading fans to think the “Rare” star had signed on for the feature film.
Although it’s a pretty small lead, we’ll admit, it certainly has fans freaking out about the possibility of seeing Gomez back on the big screen.
“I wonder if she’ll be the opening kill because Scream normally kills off the most known star in the opening like Drew Barrymore in the original Scream,” one fan speculated.
Another user also pointed out something interesting, tweeting, “I heard Selena auditioned for Scream 4. Maybe they decided to put her in 5 now,” to which another user responded, “Yessss. She would’ve made a good Jill in my opinion.” (Rumors about Gomez trying out for the role of Jill, played by Emma Roberts in Scream 4, have been mentioned plenty times before.)
If the rumors are true, Scream 5 will be one of Gomez's latest film roles following 2019’s The Dead Don’t Die and A Rainy Day in New York.
