Cinemastu Macher, Panic Villain, is it alive? Remember the theories about the 1st Ghostfacemathew Lillard, which played the character in the first film in the franchise created by Wes Craven, was confirmed in the seventh chapter by writing

Matthew Lillard (Five Nights at Freddy’s), who interpreted STU MACHERone of the first villains of Panicwill return in Panic 7new chapter of the franchise created by WES CRAVEN(1939-2015), which hits theaters in 2026.

There are still no details of how the return should happen, considering that at the end of the first movie, STU finds its end by the hands of Sidney Prescott (Snow Campbell), which drops a huge tube TV over your head.

But since then, many fans have questioned whether the fall of a television would be enough to kill the killer and fueled a theory that, in fact, STU He didn’t die and was just preparing to take revenge on his enemy.

The theory gained even more strength when, in the second movie, Matthew Lillard He made a special appearance – and almost imperceptible – like the guest of a party. At the time, WES CRAVEN, Kevin Williamson and other team members said the actor was only passing through set filming and they thought it would be nice to include him in the scene, saying fans didn’t not even not even presence.

After all, is Stu alive or not?

However, this was not the only time that the return of STU It was considered: in an interview with Bob Bendick Podcastin 2011, Matthew Lillard revealed that his character would be alive and, from prison, prepared a revenge against Sidney.

However, the STU It was very similar to the Columbine massacre, when two students killed 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School Columbine, Colorado, Colorado (USA). The attack took place on April 20, 1999, just three weeks before filming begins, forcing Kevin Williamson discarding your script and start from scratch.

Panic VI Did you kill Stu at once?

To try to end any doubt about the death of STU, Tyler Gillett, Panic VIincluded a scene to prove that Stu had really died: in the sixth movie, Ethan (Jack Champion, Avatar: The Water Way), one of the villains of history, dies of the very same form that STUwith a television thrown over your head.

“Let’s talk about Stu and TV. There was a conspiracy that Stu would be alive. [A cena em que] Kirby pushes the TV on Ethan to prove that the same TV killed Stu? “questioned the Varietyto what Gillett he responded: “Yes”.

But what if he has a twin brother?

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight [via CineBuzz]in March 2023, Kevin Williamsonwhich will command Panic 7I had said that the return of STU It was not a possibility in the franchise: “I would say it’s impossible, but time always proves that I was wrong when I say that. It cannot be said that one thing is impossible. There is always that theory of the twin brother ”he said.

What has changed? We will have a twin brother of STU? Or the villain was alive all this time? Well, we will find everything on February 26, 2026, when the feature is due to debut in Brazilian theaters.
