The original Men in Black, starring the winning combo of Smith and Jones, came out twenty years ago in the summer of 1997, and grossed $589 million worldwide.
Should Neeson sign on for the film he will join stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, who reunite once again after last year’s Thor: Ragnarok.
The untitled Men in Black spinoff will not feature Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones, but it will expand on the world of the original trilogy.
