Marlon Wayans recently revived interest in a potential sequel to the 2004 comedy White Chicks through a surprise appearance in the latest Scary Movie. The cameo has sparked renewed conversation about whether the Wayans brothers will officially bring back their undercover characters.
The "White Chicks 2 my ass" joke in Scary Movie
In the new Scary Movie currently in theaters, a scene spoofing the film The Substance features Cheri Oteri as the character Gail Hailstorm.. After being injected with a mysterious substance called 'The Stuff,' Hailstorm undergoes a transformation that reveals Marlon Wayans dressed as his iconic character from White Chicks. As the report says, the actor delivers the line "White Chicks 2 my ass," a meta-joke that acknowledges the long-standing fan demand for a second installment.
While the moment was played for laughs, the reaction from audiences suggests that the brand still holds significant cultural currency. By inserting the character into a modern spoof, the Wayans brothers are effectively testing the waters for a full-length return to the franchise without committing to a production schedule.
From 2004 critical failure to cult classic status
The original White Chicks, released in 2004, centered on two FBI agnts who disguised themselves as white women to thwart a kidnapping plot involving hotel heiresses. According to the source, the film was critically panned upon its initial release, yet it evolved into a cult classic known for its crass humor and boundary-pushing scenarios.
This trajectory from critical failure to enduring popularity mirrors a broader trend in comedy where "so-bad-it's-good" cinema finds a second life through streaming and internet memes. The success of the recent Scary Movie suggests that there is still a viable commercial market for the specific brand of risqué, high-concept humor that the Wayans brothers pioneered two decades ago.
Mar-a-Lago and "A Very White Chicks Christmas" as potential settings
Marlon Wayans has already begun floating specific conceptual directions for a potential sequel. He has suggested that placing the characters in Florida, specifically at Mar-a-Lago, would provide a fertile ground for the kind of social satire the series is known for. Wayans believes the characters are versatile enough to fit into any environment, comparing their adaptability to that of the Madea characters.
Beyond a political or regional satire, Marlon Wayans has expressed interest in a holiday-themed spin-off titled A Very White Chicks Christmas. While these ideas remain in the discussion phase, the variety of pitches indicates that the creators are thinking about how to modernize the premise for a contemporary audience.
Does the fate of White Chicks 2 depend on Scary Movie 6?
Despite the excitement, a greenlight for White Chicks 2 is not yet guaranteed. The report notes that Marlon Wayans mentioned in 2025 that the viability of a second film could depend largely on the commercial performance of Scary Movie 6.. This suggests a strategic link between the two franchises, where the success of the spoof series acts as a barometer for the Wayans' overall draw at the box office.
Several key details remain unverified, including whether Shawn Wayans is fully committed to returning to the lead role or if a formal script has been commissioned.. Furthermore, the source only provides Marlon Wayans' perspective on the development process, leaving it unclear if the studio has expressed official interest in funding the project.
