In a panel at 90s Con, Matthew Lillard joined the members of the first Scream (1996), David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, Dermot Mulroney, and Skeet Ulrich, which was hosted by People magazine. He talked about the legacy of the franchise and the film.

Lillard was asked about his return to the franchise and what his views were. He replied, "I will say I can't say anything about it, obviously. But I am very excited and slightly terrified to be back because all I can do is really screw up a legacy that we have."

He also went on to share that his main fear was not performing well in the upcoming film. Lillard did not want to ruin the film and the franchise for the audiences.
