Abstract
The Scream and Purge franchises released sequel films during the pandemic that demonstrate how Hollywood addressed diversity. Scream 5 and 6 highlight how the film industry uses color-blind casting of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega to promote diversify but lacks telling nuanced stories about Latinx individuals without problematic stereotypes. The Forever Purge includes a diversified cast of Latinx individuals and filmmakers in front and behind the camera, which promotes a nuanced look at Latinx life in the Southwest.
