More about Him

Him first hit the theatres in Mexico on September 18, 2025, and was subsequently released on September 19 in the United States. In a CBS News interview, Marlon Wayans spoke about his role. He said,

"Is he the Devil in this film? No, I think I'm just one of the people that the Devil uses to entice the people who sell their soul."

He added,

"The movie seems like, 'Oh, you're selling your soul to the Devil.' The Devil exists every day, everywhere. At least 20 times a day you are gonna be faced with God or the Devil. So, it's a choice. Everything you do is a choice."

Wayans, who is mostly known for his comedic role in the Scary Movie franchise, plays the antagonist in this horror film.

Him is the second feature film Justin Tipping has directed. He had earlier helmed the adventure flick Kicks. The film was released in 2016. Besides that, Tipping has also directed episodes of shows like The Chi and Black Monday.
