Two decades after its debut, the iconic 2004 comedy White Chicks remains a cultural phenomenon, a masterclass in physical comedy and satirical social commentary that launched countless memes and unforgettable quotes. The film, starring brothers Marlon and Shawn Wayans as FBI agents Marcus and Kevin Copeland, who go deep undercover as the wealthy, blonde Wilson sisters, has cemented its status as a cult classic. As of late 2025, the cast is busier than ever, with major new film projects, television revivals, and surprising career pivots, all while the persistent buzz of a White Chicks 2 sequel continues to dominate headlines.
The enduring popularity of White Chicks, which was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, proves that its humor transcends generations. From Terry Crews’ viral rendition of Vanessa Carlton’s "A Thousand Miles" to the meticulous, hours-long makeup process endured by the lead actors, the film’s legacy is undeniable. Here is the definitive, up-to-date look at what the talented ensemble cast of White Chicks is doing right now, in late 2025.
The Wayans Brothers: From Whiteface to a Major Horror Reboot
The heart and soul of White Chicks, Marlon and Shawn Wayans, have continued to build on their family’s comedy empire, but their 2025 projects show a significant return to their biggest franchises and a pivot into new genres.
Marlon Wayans (Marcus Copeland / "Tiffany Wilson")
Marlon Wayans, who played the more hot-tempered and protective Marcus, has had a packed schedule. While continuing his successful stand-up comedy tours, he is making a major return to the horror-comedy genre he helped define. In late 2024 and throughout 2025, news broke that Marlon, along with his brothers Shawn and Keenen Ivory Wayans, is officially reuniting for a new installment in the beloved *Scary Movie* franchise, set for release in 2026.
Beyond comedy, Marlon is also set to star in the sports-themed horror film *Him*, which is due for a September 2025 release. The actor has been the most vocal about a potential sequel to *White Chicks*. In early 2025, he publicly stated that he believes "it's time" for *White Chicks 2*, fueling fan excitement after years of rumors.
Shawn Wayans (Kevin Copeland / "Brittany Wilson")
Shawn Wayans, who played the more laid-back Kevin, has primarily focused on stand-up comedy and producing in recent years. His most significant confirmed project for 2025 is the highly anticipated *Scary Movie* reboot, where he will once again collaborate with his brothers Marlon and Keenen Ivory Wayans on the script. Shawn's involvement signals a major return to the big screen for the Wayans family. Fans are also hopeful he will join Marlon in developing the script for a potential *White Chicks* sequel, bringing the original creative team back together.
The Cult-Favorite Supporting Cast: Latrell, Karen, and the Vandergelds
The film’s supporting cast delivered some of the most memorable performances and have since established themselves as major stars across film and television, with several of them taking on fresh, high-profile roles in 2025.
Terry Crews (Latrell Spencer)
The unforgettable Latrell Spencer, who famously sang "A Thousand Miles," is arguably the most recognizable member of the supporting cast today. While his acting career continues—most notably with his long-running role as Sergeant Terry Jeffords on *Brooklyn Nine-Nine*—Crews has diversified his career significantly. In 2025, he remains the host of *America's Got Talent* and has been actively involved in speaking engagements, including joining the One Young World Summit in Munich in 2025, where he is expected to speak on leadership and activism. Crews also made headlines in 2025 for his involvement in a luxury real estate project in Dubai, highlighting his growing business ventures outside of Hollywood.
Busy Philipps (Karen Googlestein)
Busy Philipps, who played the neurotic and hilarious Karen, has successfully transitioned from acting to becoming a prominent podcaster, New York Times best-selling author, and activist. While her critically acclaimed series *Girls5eva* concluded its run in 2024, Philipps remains a strong voice in the industry. Her ongoing advocacy work and her popular podcast keep her firmly in the public eye, often touching on her experiences in Hollywood, including her time on the set of *White Chicks*.
Jaime King (Heather Vandergeld)
Jaime King, who played the chic and snobby Heather Vandergeld, has maintained a steady career in film and television, including a four-year run on the CW drama *Hart of Dixie* as Lemon Breeland. In 2025, King has been active in the fashion and music worlds, attending the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards in April 2025. Furthermore, she teased a potential collaboration with Ricky Martin for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), showing her diverse interests beyond traditional acting roles.
Brittany Daniel (Megan Vandergeld)
Brittany Daniel, who perfectly embodied the other half of the Vandergeld sister duo, Megan, has seen a resurgence in her television career. After a long-running role on *The Game*, Daniel returned to the franchise for the Paramount+ revival, reprising her role as Kelly Pitts. In a fresh update for fans, Daniel also made an appearance at the NJ Horror Con & Film Festival in September 2025, connecting with fans and discussing her career, which includes her iconic roles in *White Chicks* and *Sweet Valley High*.
The Undercover Agents and The ‘White Chicks’ Trio: New Revivals and Quiet Success
The rest of the core cast, including the agents' partners and the other "white chicks," have quietly secured roles in major franchises and prestige television, further cementing the film's reputation as a launchpad for talent.
- Jennifer Carpenter (Lisa): Known in White Chicks as the sweet but overlooked Lisa, Carpenter has since become a powerhouse in dramatic television. Her most exciting news for fans in 2024/2025 is her confirmed return to the *Dexter* universe for the new sequel series, *Dexter: Resurrection*, following her appearance in *Dexter: New Blood*. This high-profile role keeps her firmly in the spotlight as a serious dramatic actress.
- Jessica Cauffiel (Tori): As one-third of the "white chicks" trio (alongside Busy Philipps and Jaime King), Jessica Cauffiel has a beloved place in pop culture, also known for her role as Margot in the *Legally Blonde* franchise. After stepping away from major acting roles for a period, her most recent appearances are often tied to cast reunions, though fans eagerly await any news of her involvement in the often-discussed *Legally Blonde 3*.
- Lochlyn Munro (Agent Jake Harper): The actor who played Agent Harper, the Wayans' competitive rival, has maintained an incredibly prolific career in film and television, recently appearing in numerous genre films and TV series, demonstrating his versatility as a character actor.
- Frankie Faison (Chief Elliot Gordon): The veteran actor who played the Wayans' boss, Chief Elliot Gordon, has continued his distinguished career with notable roles in TV dramas and films, including a recurring role in the *Luke Cage* series and other major television productions.
The Enduring Legacy and The White Chicks 2 Question
The film’s legacy is not just in its quotability but in its unexpected cultural reach. Marlon Wayans once noted, "You know who loves *White Chicks* the most? *White chicks*." This speaks to the film’s ability to satirize and entertain simultaneously, creating a truly unique comedy. The constant chatter about a sequel, which Marlon Wayans has repeatedly acknowledged, is a testament to the film’s enduring relevance. While a sequel has been in development hell for years, the Wayans brothers’ 2025 reunion for *Scary Movie* and Marlon’s direct comments about it being "time" for *White Chicks 2* suggest that the dream of seeing Marcus and Kevin Copeland put on the white makeup again is closer than ever to becoming a reality.
Whether it’s Terry Crews hosting a major TV show, Jennifer Carpenter returning to her most famous dramatic role in *Dexter: Resurrection*, or the Wayans brothers launching a new horror film and a *Scary Movie* reboot, the cast of White Chicks is undeniably thriving in 2025. Their current success ensures that the classic comedy will continue to be celebrated and re-watched for years to come.
