The Men In Black Spinoff Has Found Its Cast

intelligence thatMen In Blackwas getting a spinoff was met with a assorted reaction . On the one deal , the franchise was always a circle of fun , and fans were always hoping for more . On the other , aMen In Blackspinoff without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones ? Would it ever work ? Then the new cast was announced , and all matter considered , the untitledMen In Blackspinoff could cease up being another big hit for Sony . Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompsonwere the first stars to be announce in lead role . We ’ve already control them together on screen inThor : Ragnarok , and we know that not only do they share big chemistry , they ’re also both good at comedy . Hemsworth also show his comedy chop in theGhostbustersreboot . The movie itself might have been a bust , but Hemsworth played Kevin , the dim - witted secretarial assistant , to flawlessness .

In theMen In Blackspinoff , Hemsworth will trifle Agent H , say to be a suave yet wacky British federal agent , while Thompson will play Molly , a young fair sex who wants to bring together the MIB . Joining Hemsworth and Thompson in a leading role , is Liam Neeson . The trey will play the master MIB federal agent crew , with Neeson aver to be the capitulum of the MIB base in London .

Kumail Nanjiani also unite the roster , but not as a MIB agent . alternatively , he will take on a comedic foreign crony key Pawny . The character is say to be fresh - snap and sexuality - drive . Given Nanjiani ’s comedy stock , it ’s likely he ’ll really deliver in the role . Rafe Spall is also on the mould listing . There ’s no Christian Bible on his character , or how big his role will be , but it could well be that we ’ll see him carry on another villain after his routine inJurassic mankind : Fallen Kingdom . Rebecca Ferguson has also been cast in an as - yet unspecified role , though it ’s thought she will play a significant part in the movie . Another villain to team up with Spall , perhaps ?

Thus far , the only player returning from the original franchise , is Emma Thompson . She’ll reprise her role as Agent O , the same part she play inMen In Black III . As the chief of the whole MIB organization , Thompson ’s appearance will be a unassailable contact back to the original enfranchisement .

That firmly set Gray apart as a director of note , and it ’s a very bright sign that he’snow at the helmof rebooting one of the most pop motion-picture show franchises of the 90’s/00 ’s . He ’s already proven himself as a gifted action moving picture director , and he ’s also strong on character driven movies , asStraight Outta Comptonproved .

Is It A Spinoff Or A Reboot?

Emma Thompson will serve as the main link between the original enfranchisement and the new spinoff picture show . While it ’s loose to bill this as a reboot , that would imply more of a connection to the original picture in the franchise , but it seems that Sony are keen to follow in the footsteps of Disney with theirJumanji : Welcome to the Junglesequel / spinoff - that is , to make something that ’s in a similar mineral vein , but still markedly different from the master .

For a commencement , it looks as though neither Smith or Jones will appear , and if they do , it ’s not likely to be anything more than a abbreviated cameo . Then there are the ( admittedly vague ) plot of land contingent released , which says that Hemsworth ’s Agent H and Tessa Thompson ’s Molly ( to become Agent M , no doubt ) , become involved in a execution mystery that project them trip the globe . So the biggest difference so far , apart from the movie having a female lead included , is the change of location . There are sure to be some fun nod to the original , and most likely some Easter eggs thrown in for right measure , but thisMen In Blackwill be the fresh origin of an old franchise .
