Men in Black

Quitting while you're ahead isn't a bad idea.

Get your first look at the new generation of galaxy defenders.

The ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ stars are reunited to find some aliens in the first photo from the ‘Men in Black’ spinoff.

Rebecca Ferguson’s mission, should she choose to accept it (and she has): Join the increasingly awesome cast of the upcoming Men in Black spinoff.

He’ll play the head of London’s Men in Black branch.

Here come the men (and women) in black. Okay, first things first: If Tessa Thompson doesn’t get to cover Will Smith’s OG Men in Black theme song for the end credits of this spinoff / reboot / whatever we’re calling it this time, I am going to be DISPLEASED. But in all honesty, turning this thing into a Thor: Ragnarok reunion just guaranteed a blockbuster hit — and we are, as the children say, here for it.

A reboot of Men in Black doesn’t sound all that appealing — especially ever since we learned that the proposed 21 Jump Street / MiB crossover is no longer in the works. But when you bring Chris Hemsworth into the equation, suddenly a Men in Black reboot sounds pretty damn attractive. Handsome, even.

To answer your first question: No, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are not returning. And to answer your second question: No, this isn’t that 21 Jump Street spinoff / crossover.

On the heels of today’s Charlie’s Angels casting news, Sony has set an official release date for another major potential franchise relaunch. A new Men in Black spinoff / reboot will hit theaters in 2019, taking audiences back to the hidden world of secret-secret-agents and aliens. Not to be confused with that long-rumored 21 Jump Street crossover (more on that in a moment), this one will introduce new characters while honoring the established universe of its predecessors.

They’ve already got the sunglasses! They’re gonna need to work on those uniforms though. Fewer board shorts, more black suits.
