Marlon Wayans Hints Scary Movie 6 Is Going All In—And No One’s Safe
The king of outrageous comedy is back, and he says Scary Movie 6 is taking aim at everyone—get ready for jokes that might just cross the line.
Scary Movie is waking up from a very long nap, and Marlon Wayans says the new one is not here to play nice. If you missed the original anything-for-a-laugh chaos, Scary Movie 6 is aiming straight back at that energy.
The vibe: back to the rowdy roots
In a chat with Entertainment Weekly, Wayans called the new movie 'no holds barred' and framed it as a return to the franchise’s early, raunchier style. Remember: the first two were R-rated, then the series cleaned itself up to PG-13 starting with part 3. This time, they want the gloves off again.
'We just want to make everybody laugh, and we don't care if you're sensitive... It's not to harm, it's to bring humor.'
His stance is basically: equal opportunity offenders. He even points to White Chicks as a template for how he and his family go after everyone. And yes, he knows not every joke will land for every person; that’s the price of swinging big.
What they might skewer this time
Wayans name-checked a few modern horror touchstones as potential targets. Also, just to remember how long it’s been: the last one was 2013’s Scary Movie 5, which spoofed Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and even The Help (you know the scene). The horror landscape has changed a lot since then, so the bench is deep.
Who is back (and why that matters)
This is the part fans were hoping for: Anna Faris and Regina Hall are returning as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks after sitting out Scary Movie 5. Marlon and Shawn Wayans are back too — and it’s the first time in 18 years the brothers have written a script together. That’s some notable inside-baseball momentum for a franchise that’s been dormant for over a decade.
- Potential parodies teased: Nope, Longlegs, Sinners, Scream
- Returning cast: Anna Faris (Cindy), Regina Hall (Brenda)
- Wayans involvement: Marlon and Shawn are back and co-writing for the first time in 18 years
- Release date: June 12, 2026
- Rating: Not rated by the MPA yet; based on the tone they’re promising, expect something edgier than the PG-13 era
Bottom line
If you’ve missed the unfiltered, joke-every-10-seconds version of Scary Movie, this sounds like the course correction. No official rating yet, but the vibe is clear: they’re not trying to play it safe. And with Faris and Hall back alongside the Wayans brothers, it actually feels like the franchise is itself again.
