“Every single day, [they asked] ‘When are you doing the sequel?,’ They love that movie. You know, I think it’s time. So, you know, let’s get ‘Scary Movie 6’ done, and then we’re gonna go bring out the ‘White Chicks 2.’” he told Good Morning America.
After the interview made headlines, Wayans took to Instagram to share an art card of his seeming confirmation of a possible “White Chicks 2.”
“Not TRUE. But maybe ONE DAY,” he wrote in his caption, with fans speculating that the capitalized words read “true one day.”
