‘Scary Movie 7’ Teased by Marlon Wayans as Potential Horror Targets Emerge

Marlon Wayans is already discussing the future of the Scary Movie franchise, capturing the attention of fans. As reported by Variety, the actor recently hinted at early concepts for a potential Scary Movie 7 during the premiere of Scary Movie 6. His remarks indicate that the beloved horror parody series may continue for the foreseeable future.

Wayans, who has been involved with the franchise for over two decades, suggested that the next installment could parody some of the biggest recent horror successes. In his conversation with Variety, he stated, “wait for Scary Movie 7 and we will come back, and we’re going to get us some Backrooms and we’re going to get us some Obsession. Thank you guys, keep making the movies.”

His comments have ignited discussions among fans, pointing to two contemporary horror hits as potential targets for parody. Both Backrooms and Obsession have been significant box office successes in 2026, despite their relatively low budgets. Backrooms has reportedly grossed over $130 million worldwide, while Obsession has surpassed $165 million globally.

The possibility of these films being included in a future Scary Movie entry aligns perfectly with the franchise’s established formula. Since its inception, the series has built its reputation by spoofing major horror films of the time. Earlier films famously parodied titles like Scream and The Exorcist, along with numerous other popular horror and thriller releases.

Wayans’ tease comes at a time when the franchise is experiencing a revival. Scary Movie 6 is set to premiere in theaters on Friday, June 5, and is already generating buzz for its comedic take on modern horror trends. Promotional materials for the film reference recent hits such as M3GAN, Weapons, Sinners, and Get Out, continuing the tradition of blending horror with comedy satire.

The sixth installment also features several familiar faces from earlier films. The cast includes Anna Faris reprising her role as Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks, Shawn Wayans as Ray Wilkins, Jon Abrahams as Bobby Prinze, Lochlyn Munro as Greg Phillippe, and Dave Sheridan as Doofy Gilmore. Their return adds a nostalgic touch for longtime fans of the franchise.

Wayans’ remarks indicate that discussions about a seventh film are already taking place in some capacity. While there is no official confirmation of production, his teasing suggests that ideas are being explored behind the scenes.

Wayans’ mention of specific modern horror titles is noteworthy as it demonstrates the franchise’s continued engagement with current trends in the genre. If Scary Movie 7 moves forward, it will likely follow the pattern of spoofing the most popular and widely discussed horror films of its time.

For now, fans will need to wait for Scary Movie 6 to release before any official announcements regarding a sequel are made. Nevertheless, Wayans’ early tease has already generated excitement, particularly among viewers eager to see how newer horror hits could be transformed into comedic parody material in the next chapter of the franchise.
