Although Sony had originally planned to combine Men in Black with 21 Jump Street in a crossover film, that idea is now off the shelf and screenwriters Matt Holloway and Art Marcum are putting together a Men in Black spinoff instead. Hemsworth and Thompson won’t be playing the original Men in Black characters played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
Director F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton; The Fate of the Furious) is confirmed as director and Steven Spielberg is executive producer.
The Men in Black spinoff is set for release mid-2019.
