Is “White Chicks 2” on the Horizon? Wayans Brothers Share What Could Make It Happen

The Wayans brothers, Shawn and Marlon, have fans buzzing with excitement after hinting at the possibility of a sequel to their cult classic film “White Chicks.” This comes in the wake of their latest project, “Scary Movie 6,” which opened to impressive box office numbers. During promotional events for the new horror comedy, both siblings have teased that a follow-up to their 2004 hit may soon be on the cards.

“Scary Movie 6” has had a stellar debut, raking in approximately £42 million in the domestic market and surpassing £85 million globally in its opening weekend, marking it as the most successful launch in the franchise’s history. Given this triumph, it is understandable that fans are eager for the return of the beloved characters from “White Chicks,” a film lauded for its outrageous comedic style and memorable quotes.

The original “White Chicks,” released nearly two decades ago, features Marlon as Marcus Copeland and Shawn as Kevin Copeland, two FBI agents who go undercover as wealthy socialites in an elaborate kidnap prevention scheme. Their hilarious transformation and chaotic antics quickly earned the film a dedicated following, solidifying its place in early 2000s pop culture. With fans clamouring for more, the Wayans brothers appear to be contemplating a return to that iconic narrative.

Marlon Wayans recently hinted at this potential revival during an interview on “Good Morning America,” where he reported that fans have consistently inquired about a sequel. “Every single day, [they ask] ‘When are you doing the sequel?’” Marlon said, reflecting the enthusiasm surrounding the film. He suggested that focus on “Scary Movie 6” would precede any moves toward a new “White Chicks” project, stating “let’s get Scary Movie 6 done, and then we’re gonna go bring out ‘White Chicks 2.’”

Further confirmation of this sentiment emerged from Marlon during his appearance on the “Rap Attack Official” podcast, in which he made it clear that if “Scary Movie” performed well at the box office, discussions for a sequel to “White Chicks” would accelerate. He noted, “If Scary Movie does well, I’ll be back real hard next with ‘White Chicks 2.’”

The anticipation surrounding the potential sequel has been a recurring theme in interviews leading up to the new film’s release on June 5, 2026. Marlon remarked to “Entertainment Tonight” that they are eager to hear from their audience, emphasising their commitment to creating content that resonates with fans. “We want to know if people want to come out and laugh. If they come see ‘Scary Movie,’ then definitely,” he stated confidently.

However, Marlon also expressed caution about making premature commitments, explaining that the fervent fanbase can be quite passionate. “These fans don’t play about ‘White Chicks.’ You know how they can get! They get upset!” he joked, highlighting the anticipation surrounding any discussions of a sequel.

Interestingly, “Scary Movie 6” may have included a subtle nod to a potential “White Chicks 2.” During a comedic scene, Marlon appeared in drag as his character from the original film, referencing the beloved comedy in a playful manner. When a character remarked on the appearance, Marlon’s character quipped, “Oops, wrong movie!” further fuelling speculation among fans about the film’s future.

With the success of “Scary Movie 6” solidifying the Wayans’ relevance in the contemporary film landscape, fans are left wondering when, or if, they will get the sequel they have been waiting for. As both Marlon and Shawn continue to navigate this exciting phase of their careers, the prospect of a “White Chicks 2” hangs tantalisingly in the air.

For now, audiences keen on the return of Marcus and Kevin Copeland will have to keep abreast of the Wayans brothers’ future announcements. As the landscape of comedy continues to evolve, the move back to their comedic roots might be just what the Wayans need to reconnect with an audience hungry for laughter. Only time will tell whether “White Chicks 2” will become a reality.
