Marlon Wayans Talks Him, White Chicks Sequel, and Future Projects at ComplexCon 2025
Marlon Wayans recently addressed the mixed reviews received by his latest film, the sports horror movie Him. Despite the criticism, Wayans expressed his respect for critics and their role in shaping the industry. He highlighted previous low Rotten Tomatoes scores for his older comedies like White Chicks, Scary Movie, and A Haunted House, emphasizing that opinions are subjective and not always reflective of everyone's views.
Wayans acknowledged that some movies, including his own, may be ahead of their time and eventually become cult classics despite initial negative reviews. He encouraged audiences to form their own opinions by watching the film themselves rather than solely relying on critics' assessments. With Him currently in theaters, Wayans urged fans to experience the movie firsthand and make their own judgments.
While fans await a potential sequel to White Chicks, Wayans hinted at the possibility of using AI technology to streamline the makeup process for his character, reducing the time spent in whiteface makeup. He expressed interest in exploring new projects, such as a film titled Black Man, where makeup application would be minimized, allowing for a more efficient filming experience.
Looking ahead, ComplexCon is set to return to Las Vegas in 2025, featuring a lineup of over 300 brands and live performances by artists like Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, and Ken Carson. The event promises an exciting blend of music, fashion, and culture, offering attendees a unique and immersive experience. Tickets for ComplexCon are now available for purchase, offering access to a dynamic showcase of creativity and entertainment.
