69 As many Kirby fans know by now, there's an Easter egg in Scream confirming that the character, played by Hayden Panettiere, did survive the events of Scream 4. Apparently, there was a point when Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett considered having Panettiere film a proper cameo.
Bettinelli-Olpin told Nerdist that they wanted to address Kirby right from the beginning but weren't sure how, adding: "There was a period during the pre-production where we thought we might be able to even get her in this movie. We had a Zoom with her and she was lovely. And she was like, 'I love Kirby, I’d love to be in it.'"
By that point, they were "so far down the road" they would have had to "shoehorn" Kirby in and they felt it would be an "injustice" to the character, though from the sound of it, there's a good chance we'll see her in a future installment.
