I'm very excited: Regina Hall teases Brenda's return in 'Scary Movie 6'

Regina Hall confirms her return as Brenda in Scary Movie 6, reuniting with Anna Faris and the original Wayans team for the horror spoof sequel.

"I’m very excited to see where Brenda will be. - Regina Hall"

Washington DC, September 24

Regina Hall is returning as Brenda in the upcoming 'Scary Movie 6', a sequel to Marlon and Shawn Wayans' horror spoof franchise, reported People.

The 54-year-old actress teased fans about her character Brenda's return in the upcoming Scary Movie 6 during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. "I'm very excited to see where Brenda will be," Hall said. "I don't know if I have high hopes for Brenda in life. I don't know where Brenda made it to. But I'm excited to see where she is."

The sixth instalment of the horror spoof franchise was announced in October 2024 by Marlon Wayans, who, along with his brother Shawn Wayans, co-wrote and starred in the series. Keenen Wayans, director of the first two films in 2000, returns as a producer for the Michael Tiddes-directed sequel, as per the outlet.

In August, Hall and Anna Faris, along with Regina Hall, were confirmed to be back on board as their beloved characters, Cindy and Brenda, after sitting out the fifth film, which was released in 2013.

"I'm really excited to work with the rest of the cast," Hall told Hudson, alongside her One Battle After Another castmates Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti, as per the outlet.

Hall, alongside Anna Faris, is reprising her role after sitting out the fifth film released in 2013. Both actresses were confirmed in August to return as Brenda and Cindy. "We can't wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon -- three men we'd literally die for (in Brenda's case, again)," they said in a joint statement to Deadline.

The Scary Movie franchise is known for its over-the-top gags, including the recurring deaths of Brenda. In Scary Movie 3 (2003), Brenda is killed, mourned, and later reappears alive without explanation -- a hallmark of the series' irreverent humour.

Marlon Wayans said in March, "We're going to have the same fun and the same kind of tone and Wayans flavour that we gave on the first one," as quoted by People.

Meanwhile, Hall stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro in One Battle After Another, which releases on Friday, September 26, according to People.

Scary Movie 6 hits theatres June 12, 2026.

Finally some good news! The last few Scary Movies weren't the same without the original cast. Hope they bring back the same magic that made the first three so iconic.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The franchise has been hit-or-miss lately, but having Regina Hall and Anna Faris back is a great sign. Hope they don't overdo the references and keep the humor fresh.

‎Bhai, 2026 is too far away! But worth the wait if they get the original team back. Brenda's character was legendary - always dying and coming back like nothing happened 😂 Pure desi comedy style!

Interesting to see how they'll adapt to current horror trends. The original movies parodied what was popular back then. Wonder if they'll tackle recent horror hits like Midsommar or Hereditary.

Regina Hall is such an underrated actress! From Scary Movie to now working with Leonardo DiCaprio - what a journey. So happy she's returning to her roots while still doing serious roles.
