He’ll star in [_Fifty Shades of Black_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-fifty-shades-grey-get-794104 "undefined"), to be released in early 2016. The project reunites Wayans with writer Rick Alvarez and director Michael Tiddes, his team from the _Haunted House_ movies, and production will begin soon, according to _The Hollywood Reporter_. “Sex and comedy go hand-in-hand and I’m looking forward to having fun with this project,” said Wayans. “It’s amazing when a film of this caliber comes along begging to be made fun of.” \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-fifty-shades-grey-get-794104 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3851552/fifty-shades-of-grey-black/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3851552/fifty-shades-of-grey-black/"},"headline":"Feature-Length Spoof Fifty Shades of Black Set for 2016","datePublished":"2015-05-08T12:02:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:02:51.070Z","description":"'Mr. Wayans will see you now'","url":"https://time.com/3851552/fifty-shades-of-grey-black/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c951eda99cb600b/6987eeebf887dc05e3e8e5fb/marlon-wayans.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c951eda99cb600b/6987eeebf887dc05e3e8e5fb/marlon-wayans.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Beyond The Lights\" - Los Angeles Premiere","caption":"\"Beyond The Lights\" - Los Angeles Premiere","creditText":"Gabriel Olsen—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3851552/fifty-shades-of-grey-black/","name":"Feature-Length Spoof Fifty Shades of Black Set for 2016"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Video: Fans Welcome E.L.
