The Sequel: Is it Happening?

More recently, Marlon stated he’d be willing to do ‘White Chicks 2’ if it includes Shawn Wayans.
However, as of 2023, no official announcement regarding the production or release of a sequel has been made. It’s clear that the interest is there, both from the cast and the fans, but whether it materializes into a film remains to be seen.
