Though most details about the movie are shrouded in mystery, according to The Hollywood Reporter, sources say that the film will be an ensemble piece and be more global in scale. Still fighting extraterrestrials, the movie will feature new characters, rather than Agent K and Agent J, who were played by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith respectively in the past films.
As of right now, Sony’s release date for the new Men in Black picture is set for June 14, 2019.

Not sure how I feel about this. Tess and Chris definitely have a great comedic chemistry but I will always stan for J and K!
Is it really a reboot? Or more of a continuation of the current MiB but globally? I think I’m interested.
