Nearly two decades after the release of the cult comedy Little Man (2006), the Wayans brothers are back with a hilarious new sequel, Little Man 2: Bigger Trouble. This Netflix Original promises to deliver even more outrageous antics, laugh-out-loud moments, and the signature slapstick humor that made the original a fan favorite.
A New Chapter of Chaos
Set to premiere in the summer of 2025, Little Man 2: Bigger Trouble picks up years after the events of the first film. Marlon Wayans reprises his role as Calvin, the pint-sized criminal with a knack for getting into big trouble. This time, Calvin is trying to leave his life of crime behind and settle into family life, but his past catches up with him in the most ridiculous way possible. Shawn Wayans also returns as Percy, Calvin’s well-meaning but perpetually exasperated brother, who once again finds himself dragged into Calvin’s chaotic schemes.
The sequel introduces a fresh twist: Calvin must go undercover as a baby (again!) to infiltrate a high-stakes criminal operation. With his sharp wit, tiny stature, and penchant for trouble, Calvin finds himself in increasingly absurd situations, from evading bumbling security guards to outsmarting a gang of international jewel thieves.
A Star-Studded Cast
Joining the Wayans brothers in this comedic adventure are a host of new and familiar faces. Emmy-nominated actress Regina Hall (Girls Trip) plays Calvin’s no-nonsense wife, who has her own hilarious ways of keeping him in check. Rising star Jabari Banks (Bel-Air) appears as Calvin’s tech-savvy nephew, who helps him navigate the modern world of crime. The film also features comedic heavyweights like Tiffany Haddish (Night School) and Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) in side-splitting supporting roles.
Behind the Scenes
Little Man 2: Bigger Trouble is directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the mastermind behind the original Little Man and other Wayans classics like White Chicks and Scary Movie. The screenplay, co-written by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, promises to deliver a fresh, modern take on the beloved characters while staying true to the over-the-top humor that fans adore.
What to Expect
Netflix has teased that the sequel will feature even more outrageous stunts, laugh-out-loud gags, and heartwarming moments. From Calvin’s hilarious attempts to blend in as a baby to Percy’s increasingly desperate efforts to keep things under control, Little Man 2: Bigger Trouble is shaping up to be a comedy event of the year.
The official poster, which has already gone viral, features Marlon Wayans in his iconic baby disguise, holding a stolen diamond in one hand and a baby bottle in the other, with Shawn Wayans looking exasperated as he carries him in a baby carrier. The tagline, “Big Things Come in Small Packages… Again!”, perfectly captures the spirit of the film.
Release Date
Little Man 2: Bigger Trouble is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix in July 2025. Fans of the original and newcomers alike can look forward to a summer filled with laughter, chaos, and the unforgettable antics of Calvin and Percy.
Get ready for the return of the Wayans brothers in this side-splitting sequel that proves big trouble always comes in small packages!
