God bless the Wayan brothers. Many may not know it, but Keenen Ivory Wayans, the older brother and example of the whole clan, was largely responsible for the inclusion and representativeness of black actors in humor even in the years. 1990, when creating, launching, writing, presenting, and the comic book program In Living Color – which ran for five seasons until 1994. Keenen began his directorial career with satire on blaxploitation films Vou Te Pegar Otário (1988), and went on to direct brothers Damon, Shawn and Marlon in a few films. Among the most famous of his repertoire are Everybody in Panic and his first sequence (2000 and 2001).
While many of its films divide critics and audiences themselves, its strong popular appeal is undeniable – something like our national comedies, which have easily accessible humor. So his latest films are however in a bad mood, much appreciated by those who grew up watching them. And that’s where As Branquelas (2004) comes in, the penultimate film Keenen signed in directing and starring Marlon and Shawn – the last (so far) was The Little One (2006). The plot is already known, two disgraced FBI agents (Shawn and Marlon) are accused of a kidnapping involving two white and blond heirs. Thus, they take the place of the girls, in a grotesque make-up, which does not care to subvert the “blackface”, and has become the “charm” of the production.
With the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, As Branquelas has a whopping 15% approval rating and has been called a “disorganized comedy that’s ridiculous and obvious.” Well, no one denies it. But that’s also not why it can’t be funny. Whether it is for guilty pleasure, the film has a score of 56 on IMDB among the general public. And with a budget of $ 37 million, it got a box office of $ 113 million worldwide. Until the trio hear fan calls and pull a sequel out of the hat, let’s find out where the film’s cast is.
Shawn Wayans (Kevin)
Shawn was in the Everybody in Panic franchise as a locked-in gay Ray and made the situation laugh. However, after unfavorable reviews of The Little One (2006), Shawn, like Keenen, put the brakes on his career, working little in recent years, and leaving the spotlight to the more famous brothers, Marlon and Damon. He participates in the parody Ela Dança com Meu Ganso (2009), making fun of dance films of the time. The film is more of a family production, with the script signed by Shawn himself and Keenen, Marlon and trio nephew Damien Dante Wayans – making his directorial debut with the film. Sadly, She Dances with My Goose is considered one of the worst movies of all time, by mainstream audiences on IMDB.
Marlon Wayans (Marcus)
Did you know that Marlon Wayans was almost the first Robin in the movies? And that was still in the days of Tim Burton’s Batman movies. Scheduled to make his debut in the original film, the character was carried over to second and then third, until Burton stepped down, and Marlon was replaced by Chris O’Donnell. But the actor would come to play a superhero in GI Joe – The Origin of Cobra (2009), in which he brought Ripcord to life. Apart from that, he continued his path in parodies without the brothers, signing the screenplay and starring in films such as Inactivity Paranormal (2013), its sequel (2014) and Fifty Shades of Black (2016); in addition to having won his own television show with the series Marlon (which lasted two seasons); and have partnered with Netflix in films such as Nu (2017) and Six Times Confusion (2019). Her next works are more serious films, such as On The Rocks (2020), the new feature film by Sofia Coppola, and Respect (2021), biography of Aretha Franklin.

Well, if you’ve got a role that rivals popularity, this is it. Like all “cartoons,” As Branquelas needed someone to fall in love with the pair of agents in female disguise, and that was up to muscular Latrell, who remained the meme of his “fried drug dance scene.” “. While the Fourth Mercenaries don’t arrive, Crews has appeared in Deadpool 2 (2018), action drama John Henry (2020), and is a fixed cast for the Law & Disorder series (Brooklyn Nine-Nine). His next work is in the reboot of the cartoon The Animaniacs and in the animated blockbuster The League of Monsters.

Bonus: Evangeline Lilly
Of that, I bet many didn’t know. Today, a Marvel star as Hope van Dyne in the Ant-Man films, in addition to having the Hobbit trilogy also on the program. But Lilly also saw her fair share of uncredited appearances early in her career, in films like Freddy x Jason (2003), for example.
