Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are eyeing a return to one of their most recognizable comedies, saying a sequel to “White Chicks” could move forward depending on the performance of “Scary Movie 6.”
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the brothers said they are open to revisiting the comedy, which they co-wrote and starred in. “I’ll put it this way; we’re game,” Marlon Wayans said, while Shawn Wayans added that a sequel “can happen” if audiences turn out for “Scary Movie 6,” set for theatrical release June 5.
Released in 2004, “White Chicks” followed two FBI agents who go undercover as wealthy socialites, transforming themselves from African-American men into a pair of blonde, white women. The film grossed more than $110 million worldwide and developed a strong cult following over time, becoming a staple of early 2000s studio comedies.
The Wayans brothers are returning to the “Scary Movie” franchise with its sixth installment after being absent from the previous three entries. The original “Scary Movie,” which they co-wrote with Keenen Ivory Wayans, launched a successful parody series that went on to generate multiple sequels and significant global box office revenue.
“Scary Movie 6” will feature a mix of returning and new cast members as the franchise looks to reestablish itself with audiences.
In addition to “White Chicks,” Marlon Wayans has also suggested the possibility of revisiting “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood,” another early collaboration between the brothers.
For now, the future of “White Chicks 2” appears tied to whether “Scary Movie 6” can deliver at the box office.
