Marlon Wayans is encouraging audiences to form their own opinions about his new film, HIM, despite widespread negative reviews. The movie currently holds a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, signaling a critical disappointment.
Wayans addressed the poor reception directly, urging fans not to let scores dictate their expectations. While the audience score on the Popcorn Meter is slightly higher at 57%, it remains lukewarm. Wayans’ stance is a notable counterpoint to the often-influential power of critics, and speaks to a desire for viewers to experience the film without preconceived notions.
The actor is already looking ahead to his next project, Scary Movie 6, aiming to spoof recent horror successes like Sinners and Longlegs. Scary Movie 6 is currently scheduled for release in 2026.
