Scream VI will see the ‘Most Ruthless Ghostface Ever’ according to the cast ahead of its March 10 release.

In a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, star Jenna Ortega, 20, who plays Tara Carpenter in the film, said: “With each movie, Ghostface gets more and more intense.”

Several different characters have donned the Ghostface mask over the course of the film series, with their identities eventually being revealed.

However, Melissa Barrera, 32, who plays Sam Carpenter, said: “This Ghostface is the most ruthless and he kills people for the sake of killing.”

They also say the “rules have changed” as a clip of the franchise villain is shown swapping his infamous knife for a shotgun in gory scenes.

The latest film comes 26 years after the original and transports the action from Woodsboro to the gritty streets of New York.

The official synopsis reads: “Four survivors of the Ghostface murders leave Woodsboro behind for a fresh start in New York City.”

“However, they soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when a new assassin goes on a bloody rampage.”

“I have a really good scene with Ghostface and it was amazing. Obviously I’ve been stabbed a lot and all that, but this time, working with Ghostface and not knowing who’s under the mask, it was a lot of fun,” he said in a new interview with Variety. “Usually when I get stabbed, I know who it is.”

Courteney is the only star from the first Scream movie to remain with the franchise until the new movie.

Her ex-husband, David Arquette, who she first became a couple with while making the original Scream, was in the first five images before he was killed off.

Meanwhile, Neve Campbell, who became a bold name through the slasher series, refused to be in Scream VI for money.

Neve revealed in an interview with Deadline last year that he turned down an offer to return to Scream VI because he felt his salary was insufficient.

“As a woman, I’ve had to work very hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream,” she said.

“I felt that the offer that was presented to me was not equivalent to the value that I brought to the franchise,” explained the 49-year-old actress.

Until now it had been inextricably associated with the franchise, which has grossed more than $744 million cumulatively worldwide.

Consequently, Courteney had to make a Scream movie without Neve for the first time, and in her new interview with Variety she said of the experience: “I’ve missed working with her, but I’m going to stand by whatever she thinks is right.”

Scream VI hits theaters on March 10.
