REGINA HALL

The star of Girls Trip, Scary Movie and the Best Man movie franchise joins Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg in the comedy Me Time (Aug. 26 on Netflix). Hall, 51, plays Maya, an accomplished architect and mom who takes her kids on a spring break, leaving stay-at-home hubby (Hart) time to reunite with his childhood friend (Wahlberg) for an adventure that goes off the rails.

Tell us about Maya. I like her relationship with her kids and her husband. She’s passionate about work, but she’s balancing. You don’t think she’s going to be able to handle the kids when they go away, but that instinct as a mom was still there, and that deep connection to her family.

This movie has a gender flip, with Maya as the breadwinner for her family. There’s this assumption that if you’re female, you’re 100 percent going to soar more at motherhood than a male. Maybe we’re starting to understand those archetypes are not universal.

Tell us about your next role, in Honk for Jesus. Save

Your Soul [Sept. 2 in theaters and on Peacock]. I play Trinitie Childs, the first lady of a megachurch, and my husband is Sterling K. Brown, who plays pastor Lee-Curtis Childs. The church is trying to rebrand itself after we’re involved in a bit of a scandal.

You’re also filming The Best Man: The Final Chapters

[Dec. 22 on Peacock], a series sequel to the films. How was it to revisit that? The Best Man was my first film, so I started with all the original cast members. It was exciting for us to have one more time to visit those characters and see them not come to completion in two hours, but over a period of eight episodes. We were excited about “Where are we now?”
