The movie will feature an all-new cast of characters, so if it helps, think of this as Men in Black: The Next Generation.
Ever since Men in Black 3 came out, Sony has been trying to bring back the Men in Black series back to the big screen.
It’s unclear if that bonkers project could still happen, but for now, Sony has settled on this new Men in Black movie, which is described as a “spinoff” that will continue following the basic premise of a covert organization filled with well-dressed operatives who make sure Earth’s alien population stays hidden in plain sight from the general public.
Men in Black 4, was kicked around for a bit, but with neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones returning, it appears that’s been set aside.
