Tyler Perry Watches Superhero Movies With His Son, but Has No Plans to Make One: ‘They’ve Never Been Something That I Enjoy’


'Six Triple Eight' director Tyler Perry explains why he has no plans to make a superhero movie. Plus, he reveals he's writing a Christmas film.

The Netflix film, starring Kerry Washington with a cameo by Oprah Winfrey, tells the story of the only all-Black female U.S. Army unit to serve overseas during WWII. Perry also shared that he’s currently writing a Christmas movie – “It’s going to have a lot of gospel music” — but revealed that he wasn’t sure what his moviemaking future would be after he completed his passion project, 2022’s “A Jazzman’s Blues.” The film begins with the real-life love story of Black high school senior Lena Derriecott King (Ebony Obsidian) and her Jewish suitor Abram David (Greg Sulkin).
