Excitement for a Sequel: Marlon Wayans Teases White Chicks 2
Marlon Wayans, the talented actor and comedian, has sent fans of the 2004 comedy-crime classic White Chicks into a frenzy by hinting at the possibility of a sequel. Speaking during an appearance on Good Morning America at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards on February 22, Wayans revealed that fans continue to bombard him with requests for a follow-up to the film, even more than two decades after its release. "Every single day, [they ask] ‘When are you doing the sequel?’" Wayans shared, adding, "They love that movie. You know, I think it’s time. So, you know, let’s get Scary Movie 6 done, and then we’re gonna go bring out the White Chicks 2."
The original White Chicks stars Marlon Wayans and his brother Shawn Wayans as two undercover FBI agents who, after bungling a drug bust, disguise themselves as white women to investigate a series of kidnappings and redeem themselves in the eyes of their superiors. The film, which combines slapstick humor with clever wit, has become a cult classic and a staple of early 2000s comedy. Fans have long clamored for a sequel, and it seems their persistence may finally pay off.
The Timeless Appeal of White Chicks
The enduring popularity of White Chicks is a testament to its unique blend of humor and heart. Despite being released in 2004, the film continues to resonate with audiences, with many regarding it as one of the funniest movies of the 2000s. Its premise—two bumbling FBI agents navigating life in drag—offers endless opportunities for comedic gold, from physical humor to sharp social commentary. The chemistry between the Wayans brothers is undeniable, and their ability to balance absurdity with relatable character moments has helped the film stand the test of time.
Marlon Wayans has often spoken about the film’s enduring legacy, noting that fans of all ages and backgrounds approach him to express their love for the movie. This universal appeal is a major reason why a sequel has remained a topic of discussion for so long. With the announcement of a potential sequel, fans are eagerly hoping that the second installment will capture the same magic that made the original such a hit.
The Origins and Inspiration Behind White Chicks
The idea for White Chicks was born out of a moment of inspiration, as Marlon Wayans revealed in a 2021 Instagram post. He shared that his brother Shawn called him at 3 a.m. with the concept, which was inspired by a magazine cover featuring Paris and Nicky Hilton. Initially skeptical—"You high?" Marlon responded—his doubts were quickly dismissed when Shawn showed him the magazine the next day. "We should play girls like this," Shawn suggested, and Marlon immediately saw the vision.
At the time, the Hilton sisters were pop culture icons, embodying the glamour and excess of the early 2000s. The Wayans brothers saw an opportunity to poke fun at celebrity culture while also exploring themes of identity and societal expectations. The film’s humor was rooted in the brothers’ ability to inhabit their female alter egos, Teresa and Brittany, with both over-the-top performances and heartfelt moments.
In celebrating the film’s 20th anniversary in June 2024, Marlon Wayans took to Instagram to express his gratitude to the Hiltons, writing, "We did that film in good spirit to celebrate a special time in all of our lives. So thank you Paris and Nikki for being muses. Love ya. When we do #whitechicks2 ‘let’s go shopping’ 🛍." The post was met with enthusiasm from fans, who have long hoped for a sequel.
