White Chicks 2: The Comeback We Didn’t Know We Needed—And Why the Timing Is Perfect

Look, I know what you’re thinking: ‘White Chicks 2? In this decade?’ But here we are, chatting about a potential sequel to the Wayans brothers’ absolutely bonkers 2004 comedy, and somehow, it makes a weird sort of sense. Thanks to a recent string of Easter eggs and honest-to-God demand, the ‘White Chicks’ universe is edging close to a comeback. And honestly, it’s about time.

The Spark: A Cameo That’s Got People Talking

The whole thing’s been set off by the latest 'Scary Movie', which is in cinemas now if that’s your kind of thing. There’s a scene in there – a spoof of ‘The Substance’ – where Cheri Oteri’s character, Gail Hailstorm, injects herself with mysterious ‘Stuff’. Instead of gaining beauty or youth, out tumbles Marlon Wayans in full 'White Chicks' drag, reminding everyone just how unhinged the original film was.

He even says, straight to camera: "White Chicks 2 my ass."

That throwaway bit? People went mad for it. Suddenly, the ‘White Chicks’ sequel chatter is back on every timeline.

Why Now?

The original film was basically a punchline for critics, but over twenty years on, it’s clawed out a cult status with fans who appreciate its, let’s call it, enthusiastic approach to political incorrectness. Two FBI agents crammed into rubbery white-lady suits, tangled up in kidnapping plots, and flinging one-liners that would cause a minor meltdown on Twitter today – it's the sort of thing you’d expect to vanish into the 2000s, but here we are.

And this is the thing with the Wayans brothers: subtlety is not the point. They’re well aware of it, and they’re always up for pushing the right (or wrong) buttons, much like they did with ‘White Chicks’ and basically every other film they’ve made.

The fact is, after the new 'Scary Movie' found a willing audience for its own madcap humour in 2026, there’s proof that people are still up for this kind of comedy, so long as it’s self-aware enough not to just be mean-spirited.

Sequel Chat: ‘White Chicks 2’ Is Not Just a Pipe Dream

If you’re hoping for some actual behind-the-scenes gossip, here’s what’s been going on: Marlon and Shawn Wayans have been teasing a second White Chicks film for years. It wasn’t just some half-baked rumour – Marlon once explained that a lot would hinge on how well 'Scary Movie 6' did at the box office.

Earlier this year, Marlon went on record (with Variety, for those keeping score) to say that a sequel "can happen" if the audience turns out for 'Scary Movie 6'. Apparently, he’s already got ideas for where his infamous ‘girls’ could end up next – everything from political backdrops to total seasonal chaos:

"I just had that conversation with my big brother and I shot him down. White Chicks can go anywhere, but Mar-a-Lago and Florida would definitely be a fun place to make that happen and see our girls in that world. White Chicks are like Madea — you can send them to space and they’ll be funny. I wanna do A Very White Chicks Christmas. I have a different idea, but we’re discussing. And we’ll find the right place to put them."

Rough translation: They’re bouncing sequel options around, from political satire to just dropping the White Chicks into Christmas specials or, probably, anywhere else they fancy. No solid script yet, but the intent is there.

Where Things Stand

• The original ‘White Chicks’ premiered back in 2004 to dreadful reviews, but the DVD lived on strong in student flats and sleepovers everywhere.
• Recent buzz has come off the back of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in the current ‘Scary Movie’, where Marlon reappears as his ‘White Chicks’ alter ego.
• The Wayans brothers are openly discussing sequel possibilities, largely dependent on the proven success of their latest comedy outings.
• If it happens, expect the same level of 'did they really just do that?' energy as the original – because let’s be honest, no one’s coming to 'White Chicks 2' for restraint.
