Word ofJoel McHale’s casting as Sidney’s husband inScream7came as a surprise to longtime fans of theScreamfranchise.

On the other side of the coin,It’s A Wonderful Knifeequally offered a drastically different McHale.

In the reality where his daughter never existed, McHale’s family man also loses his son.

It also speaks to McHale’s often-untapped range as an actor.

That would certainly be a twist and a half.

WithIt’s A Wonderful Knife, however, McHale has proven he can turn on a dime.

Meanwhile,Scream 7director Kevin Williamsoncould likely make it work.

Equally, it would be a waste of Joel McHale’s talents and ability to be aScreamfranchise mainstay.

This is why the other possibility is that McHale’s Mark could be the new Dewey.
