Remember That 21 Jump Street/Men In Black Crossover?
For a period, Sony was considering rebooting the series as a cross-over film with the 21 Jump Street franchise. James Bobin (The Muppets, Alice Through the Looking Glass) was in early talks to helm the movie, with 21 Jump Street’s Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill set to star. The project never really got off the ground, and Jonah Hill later said, “I doubt that movie will get made.”
Now, Sony is set to reboot the series minus the 21 Jump Street idea. Adding Hemsworth to the cast is a good move. Ghostbusters confirmed Hemsworth had surprisingly great comic timing, and his work in Thor: Ragnarok showed the actor could balance both comedy and action at once. The Men in Black reboot is currently set to open June 14, 2019.
‘Men In Black’ Reboot Wants To Recruit Chris Hemsworth

Here come the Men in Black. Again. Sony is ready ready to re-launch their hit sci-fi comedy series, and they might have found their new star. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Chris Hemsworth is in negotiations to join the Men in Black reboot. Rather than remake the original film, this new Men in Black is being said to be akin to Jurassic World – creating new characters that piggy-back off a previously existing franchise. THR reports the film will be set in London, and Sony wants to cast “a white character, a black woman, and an older man” for the three leads. Not sure who they could cast for the “older man”, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony is hoping to land Tiffany Haddish to co-star along Hemsworth.
