Scary Movie 6 balances Gen Z jokes and nostalgia, says Marlon Wayans

The first Scary Movie 6 trailer may slice its way through a tried-and-tested Gen Z stereotype in its opening moments, but star and writer Marlon Wayans is hoping newer audiences will still be along for the riotous ride. "This is the clash of the titans," Wayans says, referring to Scary Movie 6's aim to balance younger sensibilities with those who get nostalgic over the sight of Brenda and Cindy bouncing off a parade of parodies.

"This is for the old heads and the new school." "It's a perfect movie for teenage kids to go to their movies with their parents. The parents are gonna know what we're saying, and the kids – we still respect what they're saying and what their generation is," Wayans remarks.

You may have spotted uber-popular internet personality Kai Cenat popping up in one trailer moment alongside Shorty in what appears to be a send-up of the new generation of Twitch reaction streamers.
