Madeafilmmaker Tyler Perry say he ’s had conversation with both Marvel Studios and DC about directing a superhero cinema . As the writer , director , producer and headliner of the Madea movie series , Perry seems to have Hollywood and his audience all figured out . The films in the grammatical gender - bendingMadeaseries ( where he plays the nominal no - nonsense grandmother - type character ) , are most often pan by critics and are commonly produced on a low budget , yet are more often than not massive hits with audiences .
For lesson , Perry ’s 2016 comedyBoo 2 ! A Madea Halloween , only holds a 21 pct " rotten " rating on Rotten Tomatoes , yet grossed $ 73.2 million domestically ( against a $ 20 million budget ) and opened No . 1 the same October weekend a year ago , beating the Tom Cruise sequelJack Reacher : Never Go Backin the mental process . Better yet , Perry looks to continue his winning streak this weekend with theBoo!sequel , Boo 2 ! A Madea Halloween , which is projected to top the box post in its opening night frame with as much as $ 23 million ( despite a lowly 10 percent " shitty " rating onRT ) .
Perry , who has a hand in all face of his productions ( in addition to writing , directing and producing , he ’s reprize his role as Madea ’s nephew , Brian , as well as Brian ’s father , Joe , inBoo 2 ! ) , seems to be the kind of gifted filmmaker other production fellowship would pursue , whether it be for directing , acting , or both . In an interview forBoo 2 ! A Madea Halloween , Perry toldScreen Rantabout the conversation he ’s had with Marvel Studios and DC :
SR : I be intimate you said the superhero genre is not your thing you never want to helm one , but have you ever been go up by Marvel or DC to do one ?
Tyler Perry : " I ’ve had a couple conversations , but I would always say , ‘ I ’m not the guy cable to do this ’ . I ’m not the guy that can bring this imagination to liveliness make it take such a village to pull it together , and I ’m not a bozo that can ferment with fifty other directors and producers telling you what to do , how to do it , when to do it . That does n’t work for me . I saw that in a couple of the sci - fi movies that I ’ve been apart of and I think , ‘ Uhh , I ’m not doing that ’ . "
You have to admire Perry for being honest about what sort of textile draw in him and ultimately , not taking on film projects where his vision would clearly take issue from those bid the shot . As the success of theMadeaseries has proven , Perry is the epitome of an autonomous movie maker ; not only because the moving picture are responsibly produce from a financial panorama and make a set of money , but because he intelligibly know what his audiences want and delivers it to them on a uniform basis .
While Perry does n’t appear to be concerned in directing a Marvel or DC film any time in the near future tense , with any luck he ’ll be considered for an acting lance in one of them sooner than later . He ’s clearly already caught the attention of some fairly big slugger in the commercial enterprise already : Not only did director J.J. Abrams cast Perry in a small role in his 2009 reboot of theStar Trekfilm serial , helmer David Fincher gave Perry the plum role of savvy defense attorney Tanner Bolt in the 2014 criminal offense thrillerGone Girl . Perry , not amazingly , all embodied the role in the film , turn out that he can take heading - on any challenge put before him , whether he ’s in front of or behind the camera .
