February 23rd 2025.
A long-awaited announcement was finally made at the NAACP Image Awards this weekend - a sequel to the iconic film White Chicks is officially in the works. It's been over 20 years since the release of the beloved comedy flick, which gave us the unforgettable scene of Terry Crews singing along to Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles. Starring Crews, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Busy Philipps, and more, White Chicks follows the story of two disgraced FBI agents, Kevin Copeland and Marcus Copeland, who must protect two cruise line heiresses from being kidnapped. To do so, they go undercover as white women using "whiteface" to blend in and prevent the kidnapping plot from succeeding.
Despite being panned by critics upon its release in 2004, White Chicks grossed an impressive $113 million at the box office and has remained a fan favorite, with many still quoting lines from the film to this day. And now, fans can rejoice as a sequel is finally in the works. During the NAACP Image Awards, the Wayans family celebrated their induction into the Hall of Fame and Marlon Wayans, who is now 52 years old, confirmed that a sequel is indeed happening. He shared with Good Morning America that he is asked about it every single day and believes it's time to give fans what they have been eagerly waiting for.
The actor also expressed his pride in the fact that fans still love the movie, saying, "They love that movie. I think it's time." He added that he believes White Chicks should have been a franchise, and now, they will finally be able to make it happen. However, fans will have to wait until June 12, 2026, for the release of White Chicks 2, as Marlon is currently working on Scary Movie 6 with his brother. The announcement of the sequel was met with excitement from fans, with many expressing their eagerness to see the same hilarious energy in the upcoming film.
But as with any highly-anticipated sequel, there are also concerns from diehard fans of the original. Some worry that a remake could potentially taint the legacy of the beloved cult classic. Despite its popularity on the internet, White Chicks only has a 15% score on review platform Rotten Tomatoes and was even named "the worst movie of the year" by one critic in 2004. However, fans of the film believe that it has stood the test of time and are eagerly looking forward to the sequel.
