With Scary Movie 6 on the horizon, Marlon Wayans is opening up about what fans can expect to see.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Wayans, who starred in and co-created the parody franchise with his brothers Shawn and Keenen Ivory, spoke about what horror films could be spoofed in the sixth installment.
“I’m just a fan of the whole genre, man,” he said. “I Know What You Did Last Summer may have something in there. I think the Scream franchise is always a great one. I think Heretic was a wonderful film. Longlegs. Get Out. Nope. There are just so many great horror films to pull from that we plan on having a field day. Sinners.”
In August, it was announced that the Wayans brothers were teaming up again to write and produce Scary Movie 6. And that’s not all. The franchise’s original stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall are also coming back.
“We can’t wait to bring Brenda [Hall] and Cindy [Faris] back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon — three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again),” Hall and Faris said in a statement at the time.
The first Scary Movie film debuted in 2000 and grossed $42 million at the domestic box office. The franchise has primarily spoofed many notable horror films such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Exorcist, The Shining, The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project and The Ring. Scary Movie 6 is set to hit theaters on June 12, 2026.
Up next for Marlon, he’s starring in the sports horror film Him, which is directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Jordan Peele. It releases in theaters Sept. 19.
