Mark Consuelos is making his grand return to the big screen, and his wife, Kelly Ripa, is determined to get all the details—whether he’s ready to spill or not.
On January 28, Deadline reported that Consuelos had landed a role in the highly anticipated Scream 7.
His absence from Live With Kelly and Mark earlier in January now appears to have been due to filming commitments for the iconic horror franchise.
However, with the film’s plot and his role shrouded in secrecy, Kelly wasted no time interrogating him about it during their morning talk show on January 29.
Excitedly announcing the news, Kelly exclaimed, “Mark Consuelos has joined the cast of Scream 7! Is that what you’ve been doing behind my back?”
Mark, grinning, confirmed, “Yes! I had the most amazing time there in Atlanta.”
Naturally, Kelly wanted more. “What can you tell us? Are you the killer? You can tell us! You are the killer, right? Do you die?” she pressed.
Remaining steadfast, Mark refused to give anything away. “I can tell you absolutely nothing. I can’t tell you anything! Don’t try to get it out of me. But it’s fun.”
Keeping Things Under Wraps
While Mark stayed tight-lipped about the details, he did drop some major names involved in the film. He confirmed he would be working alongside Scream veterans Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, as well as Community star Joel McHale, who is a newcomer to the franchise. Despite refusing to reveal his character’s fate, Mark did share that his oldest son, Michael, was ecstatic about his new project.
“He was so excited. He said, ‘Dad, I manifested this for you,’” Mark recalled, before jokingly adding, “I said, ‘Great—can you keep doing that? Keep doing that!’”
Michael’s enthusiasm didn’t end there. At a recent family dinner, Mark noticed his son eyeing him with curiosity. “He was just looking at me, and I’m looking at him, and we’re smiling at each other,” he said. “He asked some questions, and I go, ‘Michael, I can’t answer anything. I can’t tell you anything.’ He goes, ‘Uh huh. OK. Got it.’ He knows nothing. I’m poker-faced.”
Fans React to Mark’s Big News
Kelly and Mark’s playful exchange quickly sparked excitement among fans. Social media buzzed with speculation about his role, with many eager to see whether he might be the film’s main antagonist.
“Too funny! My guess is Mark’s the killer 😂😂🤍,” one fan commented on Instagram. Another viewer admitted, “I haven’t seen a single Scream movie since the first one, but this one I’d watch!” Others simply shared their enthusiasm, with messages like, “Congratulations, Mark! Looking forward to watching.”
While details remain scarce, one thing is certain—Kelly’s reaction, along with Mark’s secrecy, has only fueled more anticipation for Scream 7. Fans will have to wait for more clues, but one thing is for sure: this movie just became a must-watch!
