Unfortunately, after David Beaubaire, the Sony executive who’d been overseeing Men In Black International, exited the studio last summer, F. Gary Gray and producer Walter Parkes, who had a hand in the first Men in Black movie, started clashing.
Sony reportedly believed that Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson’s star power would be enough to bring in new fans, and one insider described Art Marcum and Matt Holloway’s Men In Black International script as “good,” hence why Hemsworth and Thompson agreed to star in the movie in the first place.
