However, as reported by Variety on Thursday (4/12), it is not yet known whether Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will return as in the first three Men in Black films.
However, Bremmer’s involvement could attract Will Smith to return to the saga, considering Bremmer’s work in the last two Bad Boys films.
Sony Pictures previously tried to reboot Men in Black with the fourth saga, Men in Black: International, in 2019 and brought in Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as new agents.
However, the film with a budget of US$110 million was considered a commercial disappointment.MIB: International was only able to pocket US$253.8 million globally.
Meanwhile, MIB’s first three films, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, were able to make a profit.
The first film, released in 1997, grossed US$589.3 million on a budget of only US$90 million.The second film in 2002 was able to gain US$441.8 million from a budget of US$140 million.The third film in 2012 could reach US$624 million on a budget of US$215 million.
Variety said that the collective income of up to US$1.9 billion from the four MIB films is what makes Sony Pictures still have hope for the alien management agent saga.
However, Will Smith is said to no longer appear in the spotlight and has remained somewhat away from the public since the drama of him slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Variety
reports that Sony Pictures has not provided any comment regarding this news.
Men in Black is a science fiction action comedy film saga adapted from the comic series The Men in Black by Lowell Cunningham which based the story on an alien/UFO conspiracy.
