It will be the MiB’s fourth appearance at an international event. When will Men in Black 5 be released, will Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson return to reprise their roles? Until further notice, the following is what we know. When it comes to the Men in Black 5 sequel, what can we expect? MCU favorites play spies entrusted with monitoring extraterrestrial life forms in the fourth Men in Black film, which has finally been released. With Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones out of the picture, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson will take over the leading roles in the film.
Since the release of the first Men in Black film in 1997, the Men in Black franchise has been a formidable and steady force. Those who enjoyed the first Men in Black movie will enjoy the sequels, which include Men in Black II, Men in Black 3, and now Men in Black: International. Throughout the franchise, the universe of the Men in Black has developed dramatically, with new technology being introduced, the lifestyles of the agents being researched in-depth, new alien life forms being discovered, and much more happening. An unassailable possibility exists for a Men in Black 5 prequel.
Was the Men in Black franchise doomed from the start, and what lies ahead? The outcome of the International will be critical. In the meanwhile, here is what we know thus far about Men in Black 5.
Men In Black 5 Story
The story of Men in Black: International does not necessarily build up the fifth film, as the characters end up in a situation that is essentially the same as the previous four. In Men in Black 5, it would be interesting to see other storylines brought to life on the big screen, but International sits alone as a complete story. Last but not least, this happened with Men in Black, which helped to begin the franchise in 1997, so it’s never too early to rule out the potential.
Men In Black 5 Depends On MIB: International’s Box Office
The success of Men in Black 5 in the international market will play a significant role in determining whether or not the fifth picture will be made. If the film is lucrative, Sony will almost surely authorize the film. Unfortunately, the early reviews and box office estimates do not appear to be encouraging for this film. It has the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating in the franchise’s history, and box office predictions have plummeted as a result of this. However, even though the film’s budget is expected to be roughly $110 million, which is modest for a contemporary tentpole, it has the potential to be a big hit.
When Could Men In Black 5 be Release?
Even if International succeeds at the global box office (which is a tall order at this point), the fifth feature will have to wait a while before it hits theatres. Men In Black 5 is set to be released in late 2022 or early 2023.
Would Chris Hemsworth & Tessa Thompson Return For MIB 5?
Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson have shown to be a fun couple for quite some time now, thanks to their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame. It’s not difficult to see a scenario in which these actors reconvene in their MiB finery for a subsequent appearance.
Things become a little murkier when it comes to the business side of things. Currently, there is no publicly available information on whether Hemsworth and Thompson are contractually committed to returning for Men in Black 5 or whether their return is contingent on contract discussions. Their comeback could therefore be contingent on renegotiations with the studio.
Men In Black Could Reboot (Again)
A Men in Black 5 could end up being a soft reboot or a legacy sequel of sorts, even if a direct sequel to International isn’t produced. With International and Men in Black 3, the franchise has already experimented with both types of sequels, demonstrating that it is capable of reviving itself after more than a decade of inactivity. Given the anticipated box office failure of Men in Black 4, bringing Will Smith back to the franchise may be a wise decision. Never write off the MiB just because they’ve gone silent for a while.
