"There are better ways to die than being crushed by a chandelier in a haunted mansion, or stabbed to death while high and watching TV. But such was the fate of Marlon Wayans in the 2000 film Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2, released the following year (yes, he died twice), both of which he also produced and co-wrote with brother Shawn (who gets impaled by a ghost in the latter)."
"Elsewhere, the Wayans brothers co-wrote and starred in 2004's buddy cop movie White Chicks, donning prosthetics to, indeed, look like a couple of shallow socialite sisters whom the police suspect will get kidnapped. A sequel is on its way. They also starred in 2006's Little Man, where Marlon Wayans plays a (CGIed) dwarf criminal who poses as a baby and is mistaken by Shawn Wayans for his adopted child."
"Away from his family (there are 10 Wayans siblings in all), Wayans co-wrote and starred in 2016 slapstick parody Fifty Shades of Black, and played all six siblings (Eddie Murphy style) in the 2019 Netflix film Sextuplets. He appeared in Paul Feig's The Heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, and Sofia Coppola's On the Rocks with Bill Murray and Rashida Jones in 2020. He has also had his own sitcom, Marlon, about a divorced dad, which is loosely based on his own life."
Marlon Wayans has built a career as an actor, co-writer and producer in comedy and drama. He co-wrote and produced the Scary Movie films, dying twice in the franchise, and returns for Scary Movie 6. He and brother Shawn co-wrote and starred in White Chicks and Little Man, with a White Chicks sequel planned. Outside family projects, Wayans co-wrote and starred in Fifty Shades of Black and played six siblings in Sextuplets. He appeared in The Heat and On the Rocks, led the sitcom Marlon, and took dramatic roles in Requiem for a Dream and the horror film Him, which opens 3 October.
