Scary Movie 6 will be coming to a theater near you.
Created by Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans, the film reunites Regina Hall and Anna Faris.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Marlon explained that Scary Movie 6 is more than just “a complete reboot, but it’s a rebooquel.”
”This movie is multi-generational. It’s a conversation comedically that is needed, that needs to be had from our generation down to Gen, what is it?” Marlon said. “Gen Alpha. And it’s all inclusive.”
Marlon also spoke about doing his brand of comedy in an era of “cancel culture.”
”What we’re trying to do is bring back laughter,” Marlon shared. “This is about bringing back comedy the way it used to be. And I think the only way to do it is you have to cancel the cancel culture.”
He then went on to say that Scary Movie 6 gets back to the basics of the series.
”We’re gonna do what we always do. And we’re gonna make fun of everybody because we’re equal opportunity offenders,” he says. “We have a recipe, we have a formula that you can’t mimic or copy. You could try, but it’s very specific. It’s how we grew up, and it’s how we see the world. It’s the household we were raised in, with the sense of humor that we all were governed by. We inherited it from our mother.”
”We like to be fearless,” Marlon continued. “Yet still do things with kid gloves to let people laugh at themselves.”

Marlon expressed how much fun the cast had during filmmaking.
”We laughed all the way through,” Marlon said. “We let everyone have fun, we let them improvise, and you’re gonna see it all over this movie. All of these references.”
After 25 years, Marlon said that his father, Howell Stouten Wayans, “wanted me and my brothers to work together again.”
”I got me and my brothers together to come back to a franchise that we were removed from,” he says. “I think the assignment is to bring back the cast, bring back me and my brothers working together, and to bring back big-ass laughs. The world needs a big-ass laugh.”
Scary Movie 6 premieres in theaters on June 12.
