Overview
- Multiple outlets report the project is in very early development, with no producers, director or cast attached and Sony declining to comment.
- Insiders say Will Smith will be among the first to read Bremner’s draft in hopes he returns as Agent J, though he is not attached and will decide only after seeing a script.
- It remains unclear whether Tommy Lee Jones or the cast of 2019’s Men in Black: International will be involved in the new installment.
- The move follows the underperformance of Men in Black: International, which grossed about $253.9 million, despite the franchise’s roughly $1.9 billion global total across four films.
- Bremner previously wrote Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die and has recent collaborations with Smith, including the in-the-works Fast & Loose.
