Marlon Wayans leads Scary Movie 6 trailer drop ahead of June 5
marlon wayans is back in Scary Movie 6, and Paramount used June 1, 2026 to put the final official trailer in front of the release. The sequel hits theaters nationwide on June 5, 2026 with a cast list built around the franchise names that made the series work in the first place.
Wayans family reunion
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall are back in Scary Movie, which is the clearest signal in the trailer that this is being sold as a reunion picture, not just another sequel. That lineup gives the studio a cleaner hook than the usual franchise relaunch: the people most associated with the early films are back in the frame.
The cast also includes Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Dave Sheridan, Cheri Oteri, Anthony Anderson, Chris Elliott, and Damon Wayans Jr. For a legacy comedy sequel, that is the kind of roster that lets the marketing lean on recognition instead of explaining a new premise from scratch.
From 2000 to 2013
The franchise started with Scary Movie in 2000, then moved through sequels in 2001, 2003, 2006, and 2013. That gap makes the June 1 trailer more than a routine promo drop; it reintroduces a series that has been absent from theaters for more than a decade.
Scary Movie 6 is also being presented as a legacy sequel and spoof comedy sequel, with the new film set up as a riff on Scream 7 and modern horror franchises. That framing keeps the movie tied to the same joke engine that made the title durable: familiar horror targets, recut through a broad parody lens.
June 5 theaters
Michael Tiddes directed the film, while Rick Alvarez, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans, and Shawn Wayans wrote the screenplay. Neal H. Moritz produced it with Rick Alvarez, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans, and Shawn Wayans, so the project keeps creative control close to the people most identified with the brand.
Paramount now has a straightforward rollout to manage: the trailer is out, the cast is set, and the nationwide theatrical release begins June 5, 2026. If the marketing works, the selling point is already in place — Marlon Wayans and the rest of the core names are back, and that is the part audiences will decide on before opening weekend.
