Scream 7 star Jasmin Savoy Brown hopes the horror franchise's Core Four are reunited on screen someday "even if it's 20 years from now"

Scream star Jasmin Savoy Brown has said that she hopes the franchises's 'Core Four' will be reunited someday, despite her former co-stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega not returning for the upcoming seventh installment.

"I can't imagine making this movie without Melissa and Jenna," Brown said in a new book, Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror by Ashley Cullins (via Entertainment Weekly).

"It won't be the same. On the flip side, I do care about this character so much, and I care so much about the people that care about her. I hope that someday – even if it's 20 years from ­now – the Core Four gets back together on screen."
