Marlon Wayans Says People Need to 'Laugh Again at Inappropriate Things' When Asked About 'White Chicks' Sequel

The actor and comedian previously called the sequel "necessary."

Marlon Wayans has long been talking about White Chicks 2.

The actor and comedian once again addressed the possibility of a sequel during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, doubling down on the need for a second installation. He also reminisced about 90s sitcoms, and how the world has lost that comedic touch.

“We gonna form Voltron and get this together," Wayans said around the 39:30 minute mark when DJ Envy alluded to the creation of White Chicks 2. "I realized that the world has slowed down, comedy has slowed down, and the world needs our point of view to be injected back in so we can learn to party, learn to live, learn to laugh again at inappropriate things,”

“Nothing like the 90s—90s we had In Living Color, we had Martin, we had Wayans Brothers, we had Fresh Prince [of Bel-Air]," the 51-year-old said. "Everybody was making fun of everything and we was having a lot of fuckin’ fun. And we gonna bring that back.”

Back in 2021, Wayans commented on why the sequel is “necessary,” and made similar comments to Variety about the world taking itself too seriously.

“I think White Chicks 2 is necessary,” he told Variety. “I think we’ve tightened up so much that we need to loosen our ties a bit and laugh a little bit. I don’t think Hollywood understands what a juggernaut White Chicks 2 would be. And the world just keeps giving us more [ideas]. White Chicks 2 is writing itself.”

The original White Chicks was a box office hit, grossing $113 million globally in 2004. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the now-cult classic follows two FBI agents, played by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, who go undercover as white women to solve a plot to kidnap two young, white, ditzy socialites.
