Marlon Wayans Talks ‘White Chicks’ Sequel, Reclaiming ‘Scary Movie’ & Oscar Dreams
Actor. Writer. Director. Comedy legend. _Scary Movie (2026)_ marks the return of Marlon Wayans to the mega-hit parody franchise after a 25-year hiatus. Now at the creative helm, the Wayans are looking to sprinkle the unapologetic ‘Wayans flavor’ back into the _Scary Movie_ film series. Here, Marlon opens up with GQ’s Zach Baron about life behind his slapstick on-screen persona—including how he dealt with losing 67 people in his life.

Marlons an amazing actor in serious roles and I loved hearing his bravado and hunger to be a superstar. Reminds me of Timothee Chalamet in the lead up to Marty Supreme.

Marlon is talking about cancelling cancel culture but he's crying about Tony hinchcliff but hey he's still a great comedian but bro learn what u preach if u can't handle jokes then stop preaching free speech and cancelling cancel culture when u can't handle jokes yourself ..

Marlon es muy inteligente e interesante, lástima que ese señor que le hace la entrevista no sabe entrevistar, lo corta y no tiene la inteligencia emocional de Marlon. Aún así fue una muy buena entrevista porque Marlon está dispuesto a ser honesto.

After Marlon says he finds his dad in the bible, the interviewer asks where he finds his mom. Great follow-up question.

Love Marlon but if you count people you haven’t seen in decades. We all have people who pass constantly. But don’t dwell on it

I have a lot of respect for the Wayans family cause they keep their life private. Even if they had an argument we would even know about it.
