Fans of the cult classic comedy White Chicks can finally rejoice, as Marlon Wayans recently hinted at the possibility of a sequel more than two decades after the original film took the cinematic stage. The 2004 film, which featured Wayans and his brother Shawn portraying two Black FBI agents who disguise themselves as two blonde, white sisters, has garnered immense love and nostalgia over the years. During appearances on red carpets, Wayans revealed he is frequently asked, "When are you doing the [White Chicks] sequel?"
Appearing on Good Morning America, Wayans expressed, "People love this movie, and I think it’s time." The actor suggested they first need to focus on completing Scary Movie 6, stating, "Let’s get Scary Movie 6 done and then we’re gonna bring all the white chicks in,” indicating both excitement and feasibility for the long-awaited follow-up.
While Wayans' comments are not official confirmation of White Chicks 2, they do signal serious interest. The actor has previously indicated public enthusiasm about returning to the iconic roles. Back in 2021, he shared with Variety the importance of humor: “I think we’ve tightened up so much, we need to loosen our ties a bit and laugh a little bit.” This sentiment echoes the founding spirit of White Chicks, which remains beloved for its outrageous humor and outlandish premise.
Reflecting on the film's impact within Hollywood, Marlon stated, “I don’t think Hollywood understands what a juggernaut White Chicks 2 would be.” This perspective highlights the enduring appeal of the original 2004 release, as it continues to resonate with audiences.
Though the film's premise has drawn sharp criticism for its approach to race and gender, Wayans remains confident. He vehemently contests notions surrounding cancel culture, arguing, "I don’t know what planet we’re on, where you think people don’t need laughter... If a joke is gonna get me cancelled, thank you for doing me this favor.” His strong words suggest optimism for humor's place amid today's shifting cultural dynamics.
Wayans also reminisced about his tumultuous past with the Scary Movie franchise. The original creators, which include his brothers and himself, faced betrayal when the series was taken from them due to contractual disputes with Miramax—a situation Marlon candidly described during his appearance on comedian Kevin Hart's podcast. "They didn’t want to make our deal, and they snatched it...We found out on Christmas they hired somebody else to go do it." His account paints a picture of disappointment and fierce resolve.
Despite the drama, excitement buzzes prominently around the Wayans' next venture, Scary Movie 6, which is slated for release on June 12, 2026. Produced under ‘Fast and Furious’ producer Neal H. Moritz, both Shawn and Marlon are set to return to their comedic roots, presumably fine-tuning their trademark humor for modern audiences.
Just as Scary Movie 6 promises to deliver hearty laughter upon its June 2026 release, discussions around the potential sequel to White Chicks continue to spark enthusiasm among fans and lovers of comedy. Marlon Wayans has been vocal about the significance of bringing laughter back to cinema, driving the demand for additional projects.
The rekindling of White Chicks might offer more than just nostalgia; it might secure the Wayans’ legacy within comedy and peel back layers of societal conversation surrounding race, identity, and humor. Anticipation swells as fans await confirmation and updates surrounding both ambitious projects, eager to see if the Wayans brothers will again don those iconic disguises to deliver what they hope will be much-needed entertainment.
