Has Tyler Perry bought BET? There’s no official word yet. What is widely known is that Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry is now a billionaire.
The “Madea” creator has made a series of shrewd business decisions over the last 20 years to grow his religious plays into culturally relevant full-length movies with moral endings.
How Tyler Perry Became A Millionaire
Most of Perry’s wealth is tied into his content, which he owns outright. A quarter of his worth comes from Tyler Perry Studios, which he bought from the city of Atlanta and transformed into a historic movie house.
The actual breakdown of Perry’s wealth is this:
- Cash and Investments — $300 million
- Stake in BET+ — $60 million
- Homes and Toys — $40 million
- Film Library — $320 million
- Tyler Perry Studios — $280 million
Perry says he was told that the audience he was catering to wouldn’t be able to support full-feature films.
“ ‘Black people who go to church don’t go to the movies,’ ” Perry told Forbes that he was told back then. “I came from a place where Black people had already embraced me and loved me. I was completely happy there, and still am.”
Perry joins an exclusive list when it comes to being one of the richest businessmen in the state. Here is Georgia’s billionaires club.Read more: Best work from home jobs in Atlanta, Georgia

Are you ready for Black Panther 2 and the other superhero movies coming soon? Marvel Studios has previewed its production schedule through the next couple years, with many of the big-name projects expected to be filmed in Atlanta.
Disney and its streaming service Disney+ figures to play a key role in many of the productions, which have already been spotted filming around Atlanta.
Disney’s plans also involve Fox and Pixar, but a whole lot of Marvel. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, pushing back mostly everything.
To understand how production schedules coincide with Atlanta, we first have to gather a keen knowledge of Marvel’s “Phase 4.”
What Is Marvel’s Phase 4?
Marvel’s Phase 4 refers to all of the Marvel Studios productions that will be released in the three-year period beginning with 2021 and ending in 2023.
Here’s a video Marvel Studios released on May 3 that previews what’s coming down the pike over the next couple years.
Phase 4 began on the small screen with the release of WandaVision and will start on the big screen with Black Widow in summer 2021.
Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 comes on the heels of the most successful run in the company’s history: Phase 3. That phase saw such tentpole titles of Endgame, Thor: Ragnorok, Captain American: Civil War and Black Panther.
Here’s What To Know About Marvel Production Dates In Atlanta
The success of WandaVision has shown Disney that it can score with a tentpole title in the streaming space, but the cinematic experience continues to be the ideal way to show a movie.
The beloved Marvel franchise was perhaps hardest hit because many of the movies are dependent on others. We’ll have to see how it pans out.
Marvel Releases 4-Year Production Schedule
Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and She-Hulk all have been mentioned as future Marvel projects, but nothing has been confirmed.
Navigation: Marvel Movie Productions
Disney as well as Marvel is making a concerted effort to include more representations of people of color. And it will only get better through the years.
Right on the heels of WandaVision, the MCU jumps right back into the action with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which follows the events in Endgame.
The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.
If you remember, 2020 was supposed to kick off with “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” But it, like most titles, was delayed. when it does debut, it will be Marvel’s first Asian-American led superhero film.
With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.These Marvel Movies Are Coming Out In 2021

Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Winston (the Falcon) and Sebastian Stan plays Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) set in the Cinematic Marvel Universe (MCU).

What Is The Falcon And The Winter Soldier?
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier is a six-episode Marvel Studios series based on two prominent characters associated with the Avengers.
Like all superhereo movies, the plot delves into the fight of good vs. evil, but this one also examines patriotism and nationalism in modern times.
A major plot point is also who will be the next Captain America. The U.S. Army wants to groom Agent John Walker as the heir apparent, although the Falcon, in possession of Cap’s shield, has other plans.
Where Was The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Filmed?
The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.
Additional scenes were filmed in Prague, Czech Republic in the fall of 2020, and some other places.
Production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and resumed about six months later under strict safety protocols. The production code for the film was Tag Team.
The series, which is expected to be a big hit, was written by Malcolm Spellman.
The series picks off right where Endgame left off in 2019 and has continuity with the MCU. Mackie, speaking to Reuters says the series tackles some of the uncertainty after the blockbuster movie.
“The biggest question is ‘What is the new normal post-blip?’,” Mackie told Reuters. “Everyone is trying to figure out how they fit back into society. So that’s the big question that’s answered.”
