Marlon Wayans said he and his brother briefly kicked around the idea of setting White Chicks 2 at Mar-a-Lago — then he shot the notion down, and told readers he’d rather make A Very White Chicks Christmas.
In an interview published May 20, Wayans described the exchange with his brother and laid out how elastic the franchise feels to him. "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," he said, later adding, "'White Chicks' are like Medea — you can send them to space and they’ll be funny. I wanna do 'A Very White Chicks Christmas.'"
The comment lands as the clearest, dateable sequel development to surface: Wayans spoke to Variety in its May 20 issue and used that conversation to float both a location and a tonal next step for the characters. Fans of the 2004 comedy have long wondered whether the Wayans brothers would return to the material; Wayans framed the question as one of finding the right setting rather than committing to any single premise.
That tension — an idea proposed in passing and immediately dismissed by its own author — is the story’s friction point. Dropping Mar-a-Lago into the White Chicks universe would have grafted a sharp political and cultural signifier onto a franchise built around disguise-driven social satire. Wayans acknowledged the hook but closed the door: he said the idea was discussed and that he shot it down, and that he and his collaborators are still hunting for the appropriate place to put the characters.
The interview also offered a different slice of Wayans' career: he recalled a rigorous prepping period with director Darren Aronofsky for Requiem for a Dream, saying Aronofsky forbade sex, sugar and alcohol during the three weeks before filming — a stretch the director called "three weeks of wrath." The anecdote underlines how Wayans moves between broad studio comedy plans and intense, actor-focused work.
Beyond that shorthand of possibilities, Wayans told readers he has a separate idea in motion and that discussions are ongoing. He did not announce a green light, a studio partner or a production timetable; instead he framed the project as a creative search — a sequel that could take many shapes, but which he hopes will include a holiday-themed entry.
So what happens next? Wayans said he and his brother are developing a different concept and "we’ll find the right place to put them." Practically, that means there is no confirmed White Chicks 2, no finalized setting, and no production calendar — only a public pitch from one of the franchise’s creators about the directions he thinks would work. If Wayans follows through, expect the next step to be a formal pitch or attachment to a production partner; for now, the Christmas notion and the Mar-a-Lago tease are the clearest signposts.
