Just over 20 years since its release, Marlon Wayans addressed the potential of a White Chicks sequel.

While attending the 2025 NAACP Image Awards on Saturday (Feb. 22), the actor-comedian had a quick chat with Good Morning America, bringing up the 2004 comedy, which co-starred his older brother, Shawn Wayans.

"[Fans always ask], 'When are you doing the sequel?' They love that movie," Wayans said in the clip below. "Hey, you know, I think it's time. Let's get 'Scary Movie 6' done, and then we'll go and bring out 'White Chicks 2.'"

White Chicks, which featured the brothers in whiteface, was controversial, with actress Busy Phillips reflected on the film being "embarrassing" to her at the time.

Last June, Wayans was on 105.1's The Breakfast Club and insisted that a White Chicks sequel was important for comedy's modern climate, where comedians are navigating their audience's sensitivities.

"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," he said around the 39:30-minute mark of the video below.

Three years before in a Variety interview, Wayans called White Chicks 2 "necessary."

“I think we’ve tightened up so much that we need to loosen our ties a bit and laugh a little bit," he said. "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."
