Since White Chicks were released in 2004, there have been desperate pleas from fans for a sequel.
The movie saw Marlon and Shawn Wayans playing undercover FBI agents. The two who pose as rich white socialites, evolved into a cult classic. The fan favorite was feted for its raunchy comedy, catchphrases, and side-splitting performances.
As much as it gained popularity, the Wayans brothers have always been skeptical about returning for a sequel. The reason being cited as the climate in Hollywood today may not support the same level of comedy.
But now, all may be changing!
Hype over the return of White Chicks started building after it was confirmed that Scary Movie 6 is officially underway—with the Wayans brothers in charge. This is a big deal for them, as they have not produced a Scary Movie film since Scary Movie 2 went into theaters back in 2001.
Aside from working behind the scenes on Scary Movie 6, Marlon and Shawn Wayans are also said to return to their fan-favorite characters Shorty and Ray.
The news itself is enough to get long-time fans of the duo doing the happy dance. However, Marlon recently let another bombshell drop—hinting that White Chicks 2 might be the next project they bring to fruition.
As of now, there has been no official word regarding the plot of the sequel. But fans are already making guesses at what the movie might be about.
The original movie saw FBI agents Kevin and Marcus Copeland (Marlon and Shawn) become white socialites Brittany and Tiffany Wilson to thwart a kidnapping scheme. With how much pop culture, celebrity style, and social etiquette has changed since 2004, the sequel has even more material to work with in terms of comedy.
With the power of social media and the new beauty standards, the Wayans brothers have endless opportunities to inject fresh, timely humor into White Chicks 2. Whether they’d come back as Brittany and Tiffany or assume a completely different undercover assignment, one thing is sure: if the sequel follows the first film’s pattern, it will be filled with laugh-out-loud disguises, ridiculous situations, and side-splitting comedy.
Although no official release date has been announced, anticipation for White Chicks 2 is already sky-high. The original film was a box-office success, grossing over $113 million worldwide, and has remained a fan favorite for nearly two decades.
Fan enthusiasm has spilled over onto the internet, with fans posting their enthusiasm and their dream cast on social media.
Above all other interests, people are looking forward to seeing familiar faces and indicated interest in coming back for a sequel. Terry Crews, who portrayed Latrell Spencer in the first laugh-out-loud movie, is among them.
With the Wayans brothers taking back creative control of their endeavors at last, it appears Hollywood is embracing once again their brand of comedy.
If all goes according to schedule, White Chicks 2 might be that long-awaited comedy sequel fans have been waiting for.
Now, the question is—when are we going to see it?
