Nearly 25 years later, Anna Faris is bringing the laughs back to the Scary Movie franchise—but not without some editorial tweaks along the way.
In an interview with Deadline, Faris revealed that she updated her iconic Cindy Campbell character for the times, playing her as a "classic MAGA" type. She originally filmed a Melania Trump joke that ultimately got cut from the final version.
"It was definitely a different vibe bringing Cindy back," Faris explained. The actress didn't specify what the Trump joke entailed, but its removal suggests the filmmakers opted against pursuing that political angle.
Fans have been enthusiastic since Scary Movie 6 hit theaters, eager to see Faris reprise the role that made her name. The franchise has always relied on topical humor and celebrity parody, so the modernized Cindy Campbell fits the 2026 landscape.
Whether the deleted Melania gag appears in an extended cut or digital release remains unknown. Faris has been open about the creative process on set, and this detail offers insight into what made the final edit.
Scary Movie 6 is now in theaters.
