Marlon Wayans says he's willing to do a sequel to White Chicks only when artificial intelligence can lighten the load.

During his visit to The Breakfast Club, Marlon admitted he would want to do a sequel for the beloved comedy film starring himself and his brother Shawn Wayans—when AI will help him avoid sitting for long hours to get makeup.

"I'm waiting for technology. I'm waiting for AI. I don't want to sit in makeup seven hours again for 60 days, sitting in seven hours of makeup and then working 14 hours after that, which means I'm sleeping two hours every day to do this movie," Marlon said.

"Nah, AI is coming. So, I got to get in makeup two times, and then the AI will do the work. I'm down for that. But other than that, I want to do Black Man the movie where I come in, I do five minutes of makeup, and I get out of a 12-hour day."

This isn't the first time Marlon said he didn't want to do a sequel to the hit film. During his visit to Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3, Marlon expressed how dreadful it was to sit for makeup for several hours.

The original White Chicks was released in 2004 and follows Marlon and his brother Shawn as they go undercover as white women. The film became a cult classic, and rumors of a sequel surfaced over the years. In 2009, a sequel was announced but didn't come to fruition.
