Hollywood is once again donning the black suits and alien-fighting shades: Chris Bremner — best known for writing Bad Boys for Life — has been tapped to pen the next installment in the Men in Black franchise, sources confirm.
The project is currently in the very early stages. While no director or full cast have been officially attached yet, those close to the development say that once the script is completed, it will first be presented to Will Smith — the original series star — with hopes that he might return as “Agent J.”
At this point, details about the film’s plot remain under wraps. It’s unclear whether the upcoming entry will reboot the franchise, pick up where earlier films left off, or launch an entirely new direction with fresh characters.
Still, the decision to re-engage a high-profile writer — and the possibility of Smith’s return — signals that Sony is serious about reviving the series and tapping into the nostalgia of longtime fans.
For many fans, this marks a promising moment: after the mixed reception of the last installment in the franchise, the original chemistry could be coming back. As one Reddit user put it:
“Plot details are unknown … but insiders tell Deadline that … Will Smith would be one of the first to receive it in hopes he would reprise the role of Agent J.”
With the second coming of Men in Black now underway, sci-fi comedy fans around the world are bracing for what may be the next big extraterrestrial adventure.
