Marlon Wayans Shifts White Chicks 2 Toward Mar-a-Lago Setting
Marlon Wayans said white chicks 2 is being discussed with his brother, and one idea he floated would send the comedy to Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The May 20 interview also surfaced another sequel concept he wants to pursue: A Very White Chicks Christmas.
Wayans family talks
“That’s not a terrible idea! I just had that conversation with my big brother and I shot him down. ‘White Chicks’ can go anywhere, but Mar-a-Lago and Florida would definitely be a fun place to make that happen and see our girls in that world. ‘White Chicks’ are like Medea — you can send them to space and they’ll be funny. I wanna do ‘A Very White Chicks Christmas.’ I have a different idea, but we’re discussing. And we’ll find the right place to put them.”
That quote puts the franchise in active development talk, not nostalgia. Wayans is not just revisiting the title; he is weighing where the characters could land next and naming a specific Florida setting that would steer the sequel’s tone.
May 20 interview material
The discussion came in a Variety interview for the May 20 issue, with material that did not make it into print. That leaves the sequel conversation sitting beside other topics Wayans covered there, but this is the clearest franchise breadcrumb: the family is discussing ideas, and a location is already on the table.
Wayans also said he and his family are discussing ideas for the sequel and that they will find the right place to put the characters. For a comedy property that lives on reinvention, the setting is not a throwaway detail; it is the part that will tell audiences whether the next version leans into political satire, holiday comedy, or something else entirely.
Requiem for a Dream prep
Wayans used the same interview to revisit Darren Aronofsky’s demands before filming Requiem for a Dream. “Darren is crazy. He asked, ‘What are the three things you love most?’ I said, ‘I love chocolate, sex and drinking.’ He said, ‘Great. So then here’s what I want you to do: I don’t want you to have sex or masturbate, I don’t want you to eat sugar and you cannot drink.’”
“It was for the three weeks before filming that he called ‘three weeks of wrath,’” Wayans said. That detail sits far from the sequel chatter, but it helps explain why his interview carried weight: he was talking about both the discipline behind one of his best-known dramatic turns and the development of a franchise he clearly still wants to reshape.
For readers tracking white chicks 2, the practical takeaway is simple: this is no longer just a title Wayans mentions in passing. He has a brother in the conversation, a setting in mind, and a second holiday version he wants to make work, which makes the next move a creative one rather than a timing one.
