Liam Neeson Joins MEN IN BLACK Reboot?!

If somehow you were unaware, there is a Men in Black reboot in the works set to be directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday) and star Chris Hemsworth and Tess Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok). And today we have word that Liam (fucking) Neeson is in negotiations to join in on the fun.

Yes, today we learned via Variety that Neeson will play the head of the U.K. branch of the MIB agency, basically taking over the role Rip Torn played in the original flicks. $10 says he ends up being the third act’s surprise bad guy.

The studio fast-tracked the reboot earlier this year and has already slapped the flick with a May 2019 release date.

The film is written by Matt Holloway and Art Marcum (Iron Man) and produced by Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Steven Spielberg executive produces. There’s currently no word on Will Smith and/or Tommy Lee Jones’ return.
