While Madea isn’t the one being buried, Perry recently revealed the flick would mark his last time playing the long-running matriarch, who first appeared as a 68-year-old in the 1999 stage play “I Can Do Bad All by Myself,” followed by the play and film, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.”

"I'm happy to kill that old [expletive]. I'm tired, man," he joked during an interview with SiriusXM earlier this week. "I just don't want to be her age [still] playing her."

"A Madea Family Funeral," which Perry wrote and directed, is set to premiere in Friday, March 1. He is also behind the soon-to-be-released Atlanta-filmed "Nobody's Fool" featuring stars Tiffany Haddish and Tika Sumpter.
