[[WMG: Stu will return, but he will be a RedHerring]]
He will get released from prison, and faster than you can say "[[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker somehow, Palpatine returned]]", a new Ghostface appears, and their targets are the parents of the victims from the first movie. The Ghostfaces will be revealed to be Casey's parents, who are plotting to frame Stu as revenge for killing their daughter. Even more messed up, their "victims" were in on it as a SuicidePact, and only resisted Ghostface to put on a show for Sidney.

[[WMG: ''VI'' will allude to its own TroubledProduction or the idea of unsatisfying trilogies through its signature meta-commentary.]]
Nobody in production has seemed happy with the circumstances that cost them two leads of the film and threw the film into extended upheaval, and the possible meta-commentary on a third requel could easily turn to talk about a trilogy finale that's unsatisfying and a poor conclusion and driven by disjointed creative voices, not only commenting on previous phenomena like the ''Star Wars'' sequel trilogy, but also reflecting on itself as a form of WriterRevolt for a movie that had to be made under conditions the creative team didn't want. Perhaps, through this, ''competing'' Ghostfaces could be operating, throwing the events and mystery into chaos as multiple killers with conflicting agendas are on the loose.

[[WMG:Bailey was never really a cop, and was using a stolen or forged identity]]
Much of the discourse of the movie is how it was possible that Detective Wayne Bailey being the father of Richie Kirsch never came up and how implausible it is he'd be even allowed to work on a Ghostface case in this regard, and that a police detective salary wouldn't cover the cost of the abandoned movie theatre shrine especially without making an obvious and notable dent in his expenses.
The easiest explanation for both these issues is that "Wayne Bailey" isn't his real name, something that has been confirmed by the directors and writers, but moreso, that he was never a cop. It's possible that there is, in fact, a police detective named "Wayne Bailey" out there somewhere, but the Bailey we know stole his identity and credentials, possibly even pulling a KillAndReplace, in order to infiltrate the NYPD in order to get his kids close to the Carpenters and be beneath suspicion as he positions himself right into the investigation. It's confirmed he's new to the NYPD, having specifically transferred from out of state, so none of the other officers actually knew him, and identity theft is a pretty common crime that's only usually noticeable in the first place if the real owner of the identity reports it, which again, KillAndReplace fixes that.
As for how they could pull something like that off, that's explainable by the same way they were able to afford the movie theatre, their real identities are ''very'' wealthy.

It's a trend in the series that Ghostfaces are always warped and firmly discredited as to their motives, but perhaps the series could switch to having a sympathetic (or at least more sympathetic) Ghostface as a mirror to its scary final girl in Sam, with the killer standing for principles the heroes can get behind, if not their execution.

[[WMG: Martha Meeks will have an expanded role.]]
As a returning character who never amounted to much previously, VII could be the film to give more time to Martha and give some tension to Chad and Mindy regarding their mom in danger. Martha could be a target or victim of Ghostface or even be (a) Ghostface herself to fulfill the hypothetical plot twist of someone affected by Ghostface becoming Ghostface that was falsely proposed with Kirby in ''VI''.
[[WMG: Ghostface will gain a partner over the course of their spree.]]
We've never seen someone join an active Ghostface before, and the act of a character switching sides would create a good mid-film shakeup where the strongest hypothesis is now undone by the addition of a collaborator who hadn't been involved the whole time.
