Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in Men in Black (1997)

“Men in Black” Revival: Will Smith Sparks Frenzy with Sony’s Next Move

We all need another “Men in Black” adventure in our lives. That’s not snark—these movies are generational favorites that have delivered laughs, action, and cosmic chaos for nearly three decades. Sony Pictures Entertainment has now hired Chris Bremner, the writer behind “Bad Boys for Life,” to draft a new script. It’s the first concrete step toward bringing the franchise back, and fans are already hanging on the edge of their theater seats.

Will Smith IS Agent J

The big question is whether Will Smith will return as Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K. Will and Tommy Lee are Agent J and K. Period. As Agent J once said in the original film,

“You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look good.”

No cast has been confirmed for the “Men In Black” they are now writing, but industry sources say Sony intends to approach Smith once the script is complete. Jones has not been linked to the project yet, but his presence looms large over the series. Sony has not issued an official press release, leaving audiences waiting for the studio’s next move.

A “Men In Black” Revival is Great News

The “Men In Black” franchise has grossed more than $1.6 billion worldwide, blending sharp comedy with sci‑fi spectacle. For now, Bremner’s hiring is the clearest sign that the agents in black suits may soon be back on screen. Or, as Agent K reminded us: “There’s always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that’s about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet.” So don’t keep us waiting too long, Sony.
