Marlon Wayans on Comedy, Scary Movie, and the Bible
Marlon Wayans, known for his horror-comedies, is releasing the sixth Scary Movie film on June 5, 2026, and will tour a show across the U.S. He emphasizes the need for more comedies and taking chances on budding filmmakers from all backgrounds. Wayans cites the Bible as a key work of art that guided him through grief after his parents passed, and he aims to read it cover to cover. He describes himself as boring offstage, enjoying golf, massages, and Liga Tridente cigars (his own cigar company). His greatest virtue is commitment, and he wants his obituary headline to read: "He lived, he loved, he laughed." Wayans is a 2026 CULT100 honoree.
