Marlon Wayans confirmed in a Variety interview that active discussions are underway for a White Chicks sequel following the box-office success of the new Scary Movie. Wayans said he recently pitched his brother on a Christmas-themed installment called 'A Very White Chicks Christmas,' though he was initially skeptical of the idea. He also entertained the suggestion of setting the sequel at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, agreeing it could work, and added that the characters could be funny 'anywhere,' including outer space. No timeline, director, or studio commitment has been announced.

White Chicks has remained one of the most quoted comedies of the 2000s, and a sequel has been a persistent rumor for over two decades. Wayans tying the project's viability directly to Scary Movie's commercial performance suggests the studio pipeline is conditional — a box-office test for Wayans-led comedies before committing to a legacy sequel. The Mar-a-Lago pitch also signals the sequel would lean into contemporary political culture, a sharp tonal pivot from the 2004 original.
white chicks 2 has been 'in talks' since basically forever, but this is the first time wayans has gone on record saying active conversations are happening with his brother. tying it to Scary Movie's box office is a classic conditional greenlight move — studios want proof a wayans comedy can still open before they commit. the mar-a-lago angle means they're thinking topical, which is either brilliant or a disaster depending on execution.
