“White Chicks 2,” the long-awaited sequel to the 2004 cult comedy, has been officially confirmed by Marlon Wayans. However, fans will need to exercise patience as the movie is still in its early development stages. According to recent announcements, the Wayans brothers plan to begin work on the sequel after completing “Scary Movie 6,” which is set to release in June 2026. This timeline suggests that “White Chicks 2” may not hit theaters until 2027. While no official budget has been disclosed, the original “White Chicks” was produced on a $37 million budget and went on to gross $113.1 million worldwide, making it a financial success despite mixed reviews. Given the sequel’s high anticipation and the Wayans brothers’ return to the comedy spotlight, it is expected that the budget for “White Chicks 2” will be significantly higher to accommodate modern production standards and marketing efforts.
The success story of the original “White Chicks” lies in its transformation from a critically panned film to a beloved cult classic. The movie, which starred Marlon and Shawn Wayans as FBI agents disguised as wealthy white socialites, became a pop culture phenomenon over the years. Its over-the-top humor, iconic scenes, and quotable lines have kept it relevant, with fans consistently demanding a sequel for over two decades. Despite initial skepticism about whether a sequel would align with modern Hollywood sensibilities, the Wayans brothers have expressed confidence in revisiting the story. Marlon Wayans recently stated that fans still ask him daily about the sequel, emphasizing the enduring love for the original film. With the Wayans brothers at the helm, “White Chicks 2” is poised to build on the legacy of its predecessor, blending nostalgia with fresh comedic elements to appeal to both longtime fans and new audiences.
