Wayans Brothers Reveal the Only Way ‘White Chicks’ Sequel “Can Happen”
Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are open to a White Chicks sequel, but under one condition.
The brothers, who also returned for the new Scary Movie installment, recently opened up about potentially revisiting the cult classic during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“I’ll put it this way: we’re game,” Marlon said. “We want to know if people want to come out and laugh, and [if] they come see Scary Movie, then I definitely…”
Shawn continued, “If this movie does well, a White Chicks 2 can happen.”

The 2004 comedy follows two disgraced FBI agents who go undercover, transforming themselves from African-American men into blonde, white women, in an effort to protect a pair of socialites from a kidnapping plot. Marlon and Shawn starred and co-wrote the film with their other brother, Keenen Ivory Wayans, who served as the director.
While the Him actor seems down for a potential White Chicks follow-up more than two decades later, Marlon previously detailed the challenges of making the original movie and getting into character every day on set.
He said, via People, on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 livestream last year that they spent “seven hours in makeup every day, and then we work 14 hours after the seven hours because we produced a movie. If you’re gonna produce the movie, you gotta push your call time, so that means you have no turnaround. Turnaround is usually 12 hours.”
“We only got 3 hours every night, so after work, we were still there,” Marlon continued of the grueling process. “Taking the makeup off, that took an hour.”
You’ll just have to wait and see if the brothers team up for a White Chicks sequel, but until then, Marlon and Shawn can be seen together in Scary Movie 6, which hits theaters on June 5, after being absent from the three previous installments.
