Marlon Wayans Says ‘White Chicks 2’ and ‘Don’t Be a Menace 2’ Are Ready if ‘Scary Movie 6’ Delivers

Published 02/20/2026, 12:17 AM EST

Hollywood loves a resurrection arc, and few names understand that rhythm better than Marlon Wayans. From rubber-faced satire to franchise absurdity, his filmography reads like a masterclass in controlled chaos.

Now the architect of parody has placed two cult favorites on a conditional altar, hinting that one upcoming horror spoof could determine whether long-dormant comedy empires rise again.

While nostalgia is polishing its trophies backstage, one box office number is quietly being treated like a golden key to a very loud vault.

Marlon Wayans ties two cult favorites comeback to Scary Movie 6 box office fate

The return of two cult comedy juggernauts now hinges on one box office verdict. Marlon Wayans confirmed that sequels to White Chicks and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood are ready if Scary Movie 6 delivers.

“If Scary Movie does well like we hope it does, then we will be back real hard next White Chicks 2 and Don't Be a Menace 2. We going to dig in the crates and bring back some hits,” he said on Rap Attack Official.

During his appearance on Rap Attack Official, Wayans spoke like a curator unlocking a vault of chaos. White Chicks and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood remain pillars of Black comedy, and reopening them promises disruption. The latter skewered tropes shaped by Boyz n the Hood and Menace II Society, while the former flipped Hollywood’s gaze through sharp drag satire.

Marlon Wayans Teases ‘Scary Movie 6’ and the Horror Hits in Its Crosshairs

As revival rhetoric grows louder, the marketing play for Scary Movie 6 suggests that strategy and symbolism are about to share the same screen.

The immediate focus is the rollout. Marlon Wayans confirmed the first trailer for Scary Movie 6 will debut exclusively in theaters on February 27, 2026, attached to screenings of Scream 7.

The placement is deliberate. The original Scary Movie famously spoofed the Scream franchise, so the teaser appearing before its horror ancestor completes a sharp industry loop. Online release follows later the same day.

The film is scheduled for wide theatrical release on June 12, 2026. Returning cast members include Anna Faris and Regina Hall, restoring the franchise’s original comic chemistry. If audiences respond in force and Scary Movie 6 lands the cultural punch Wayans promises, the conditional clause expires and both White Chicks 2 and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood step decisively back into development.
