Predicting How 2022's Biggest Movies Will End

10. Dewey Dies (And Gale Avenges Him) - Scream

Perhaps the most quietly unique thing about the Scream franchise is that, after four movies, the three main characters - Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) - are all still alive and part of the cast.

The trio are back for the upcoming fifth film, and the boldest statement of intent it could possibly make would be to finally kill off one of the Big Three in its third act.

Sadly the most strikingly obvious candidate is Dewey - the fan favourite comic relief character whose demise would strike a massive emotional chord with audiences.

Given that Dewey was originally supposed to die in the first film and his many near-death encounters in the sequels have become an in-joke, having him finally succumb to Ghostface's blade would make for a hugely shocking climax.

With the movie's trailer featuring a dramatic slow-motion shot of Gale screaming outside of a hospital, we're going to bet that Dewey is killed late in the day.

It'll then be Gale who gets cathartic revenge by putting the killer down, whoever they are, in the final standoff.
