said he and his brother talked about putting at Mar-a-Lago, then he killed the idea before it went any farther. In a Variety interview published May 20, Wayans said the sequel could go “anywhere,” but the Florida club was not the direction he wanted to take.

That makes the project feel less like a nostalgia fantasy and more like an active conversation. Wayans did not say the sequel is moving forward, but he did say the characters still have room to roam and that he wants “A Very White Chicks Christmas” as another possibility. For fans searching for White Chicks 2 now, the news is not that a film is in production. It is that the brothers are still kicking around real ideas.

Wayans tied the idea to a simple creative rule: the characters can live almost anywhere. He compared them to Medea, saying they could be sent to space and still work. That was the weight of the exchange — not a studio announcement, but a comic star saying the franchise still has range, even if one setting, Mar-a-Lago, was rejected after he and his big brother discussed it.

He said he had not yet been asked to host SNL, and while he would welcome it, he joked he might need to be “hot enough” first. On , he was more direct: he said the show died one season after left. For now, though, the immediate question around White Chicks 2 is narrower and more concrete than whether it will ever happen at all. Wayans says the brothers are still discussing a different idea and will find the right place to put the characters — just not Mar-a-Lago.
