New Men In Black Reboot Title Revealed

Up until now, the new Men in Black movie has simply been referred to as “the Men in Black reboot” or “the Men in Black spinoff.” But no longer are we in the dark about how Sony Pictures is presenting this fourth film in the franchise.

The big reveal comes from the folks at Collider, who are on the ground at Brazil Comic-Con. It seems that Sony (who is hosting a panel at the con this weekend) let the cat out of the bag with a new booth on the show floor that boasts the film’s official title.

The title was quickly confirmed by the film’s official Twitter account, which revealed a new logo.

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson are the two leads of this new Men in Black movie, with Fate of the Furious and Straight Outta Compton filmmaker F. Gary Gray in the director’s chair.

While the plot of Men in Black International remains under lock and key, we know this reboot will be set in the same universe as the first three films, even as it trades out Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith for Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. The only real connective tissue beyond the title will be the presence of Emma Thompson as Agent O, reprising her role from Men in Black 3. The rest of the cast includes Liam Neeson, Rebecca Ferguson, Kumail Nanjiani, and Rafe Spall.

We also know that Men in Black International begins in London at one of the MiB’s non-NYC headquarters, but the story will spiral out from there.  And considering how important global box office has become to Hollywood’s bottom line these days, yanking these characters out of the United States and letting them go elsewhere feels like a wise business movie. On the creative end of things, it’ll hopefully shake things up enough to remind of us why we fell in love with this series to begin with.

Men in Black International will arrive on June 14, 2019.
