According to a recent production listing, an untitled Men in Black sequel will seemingly begin filming as soon as January 2025.
Although Sony has yet to officially announce “Men in Black 5”, franchise star Will Smith’s MIB performance at Coachella only fueled fan speculation.
The news comes from ProductionList.com, a popular website typically known for keeping tabs on major movie and TV show productions.
As per the listing, the Men in Black sequel will begin filming next January in London.
Hollywood veteran Tommy Lee Jones originally starred in the first three movies alongside Smith, who both played the franchise’s fan-favourite MIB agents.
However, due to the studio pivoting in which direction they initially had planned for a fourth movie, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson ended up taking the lead roles.
The two Thor: Ragnarok stars replaced both Jones and Smith in Sony’s Men in Black: International, which didn’t quite perform as highly as the studio hoped.
It’s been around half a decade since International released in theatres.
Sadly for everyone involved, the latest instalment in the franchise ended up disappointing too many fans, which left any sequels starring Hemsworth and Thompson as the leads up in the air.
Since Smith’s Coachella cryptic MIB cameo, theories and speculation that the studio has plans to bring back the original cast have been at an all-time high.
The 1997 original is still said to be the best in the movie series, with its second instalment being one of the biggest letdowns prior to International being released.
Despite any harsh reviews, each movie has still managed to make a decent buck at the box office.
Men in Black 5 has yet to be announced but will reportedly begin filming in January 2025.
