Scary Movie 6 Trailer Leaked by Marlon Wayans Ahead of Scream 7
Marlon Wayans posted a video on Instagram in which he sneaks into a theater and says he has “Just Bootlegged my own Movie Trailer! WE’RE BACK!!!!” — a bootleg of the Scary Movie 6 teaser that Paramount had been planning to debut ahead of Scream 7.
Marlon Wayans boots the teaser into the wild
Wayans captioned the clip, “Just Bootlegged my own Movie Trailer! WE’RE BACK!!!!” and told followers, “It’s opening night of Scream 7, but really it’s opening night for the teaser of Scary Movie 6. This better be funny. ” The leak comes as Paramount had been keeping the trailer to debut ahead of Scream 7 this weekend, and one write-up notes the trailer hits this Friday.
Writers and returning cast line up behind the joke
The screenplay credit goes to Marlon Wayans alongside his brothers Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans; the three returned to the franchise after being absent from the last three installments. Rick Alvarez rejoined as a producer. The project’s cast list includes Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Chris Elliott, Dave Sheridan, Cheri Oteri, Anthony Anderson, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans and Heidi Gardner.
Which films Scary Movie 6 spoofs
The film lampoons a slate of recent and high-profile horror and genre titles: Terrifier 3, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, Zach Cregger’s Weapons and Platinum Dunes’ A Quiet Place. The Terrifier 3 parody specifically targets the mall Santa sequence in which Art the Clown blows up a group of children, and one sequence that was initially cut has since been reinstated in a trimmed-down edit.
Revived Terrifier cameo and a restored sequence
Felissa Rose appears in the Terrifier 3 parody and is described as drenched in blood during the scene; the sequence also features an appearance by producer Michael Leavy. Leavy previously played Will the exterminator in the first Terrifier film, and his inclusion is cited as a callback for franchise fans.
Controversy flagged around a Sinners parody, and how the filmmakers describe the tone
One production report flags that, in the Sinners parody, a killer’s Ghostface-inspired mask may depict blackface imagery; it is unclear in the provided context whether that footage appears in the final cut. Last year Marlon Wayans said the film would be “no holds barred and equal opportunity offenders, ” adding, “It’s how we always do it. We just want to make everybody laugh, and we don’t care if you’re sensitive. Even sensitive people need to laugh at themselves. ” The script returns the Wayans brothers to the franchise’s comedic voice.
When audiences will see it
Paramount will release Scary Movie 6 in theaters on June 12, 2026, and the studio planned to debut the first trailer ahead of Scream 7; the trailer is noted as landing this Friday. The next confirmed milestone is the film’s theatrical release on June 12, 2026.
