“I haven't done a lot of things in my career that my kids can watch, because they are 8, 6 and 3, and they are pretty young; so given the concepts that the film was about a superhero, it was a black superhero, and it was a father and son type partnership.” DoneKidsFilmYoungFatherGivenBlackCareersWatchesHavensSonTypeConceptsPartnershipSuperheroFather SonFather And Son Author:Blair Underwood
