Actor. Writer. Director. Comedy legend. Scary Movie (2026) marks the return of Marlon Wayans to the mega-hit parody franchise after a 25-year hiatus. Now at the creative helm, the Wayans are looking to sprinkle the unapologetic ‘Wayans flavor’ back into the Scary Movie film series. Here, Marlon opens up with GQ’s Zach Baron about life behind his slapstick on-screen persona—including how he dealt with losing 67 people in his life.Credits:Director: Kristen DeVoreDirector of Photography: Grant BellEditor: Grant SponableTalent: Marlon WayansHost: Zach BaronProducer: Sam DennisSenior Producer: Michael BeckertLine Producer: Jen SantosProduction Manager: Evie RoopTalent Booker: Dana MathewsCamera Operator: Shay Eberle-Gunst; Lucas VilicichGaffer: Nick MasseySound Mixer: Glo HernandezProduction Assistant: Hope MillnerGroomer: Tasha Reiko BrownPost Production Supervisor: Jess DunnPost Production Coordinator: Stella ShortinoSupervising Editor: Rob LombardiAssistant Editor: Fynn LithgowGlobal Head of Video: Leo FernandezExecutive Producer: Cara MarceanteDirector, Creative: Nick CollettDirector, Programming: Jeremy Clowney
