Marlon Wayans recently shared his excitement for the upcoming Scary Movie 6 during a press event in Los Angeles.
The actor and writer confirmed that the project aims to bring pure comedy back to the forefront of the horror-parody genre.
Marlon Wayans noted that the world needs more laughter right now and expressed his desire to create something that fans of the original films will love.
The Wayans family helped launch the franchise in 2000, which became a global success by poking fun at popular horror movies.
While Marlon Wayans did not participate in the later sequels, he recently reunited with his brothers, Shawn and Keenen Ivory Wayans, to develop this new installment.
He emphasized that the chemistry between the brothers remains strong and serves as the driving force behind the script.
Marlon Wayans explained that the new film will target recent horror hits and viral social media trends.
He believes that the genre of parody works best when it addresses current pop culture moments that everyone recognizes.
The actor promised that the movie will feature the same high-energy and boundary-pushing humor that defined the first two films in the series.
The production team plans to begin filming later this year with a release date set for 2027.
Marlon Wayans mentioned that they are currently in the process of casting both familiar faces and new comedic talent.
He hopes the movie serves as a reminder of the importance of not taking things too seriously and enjoying a shared experience in a movie theater.
Marlon Wayans concluded his remarks by stating that his goal is simply to make people double over with laughter.
He looks forward to sharing more updates as the project moves into the next stage of development.
