Chris Hemsworth, Liam Neeson to Star in New 'Men in Black' Movie
by EG
Chris Hemsworth will star in a new spinoff/sequel to Men in Black, but he won't be playing the character that Will Smith played in the original. He'll be joined in the cast by Liam Neeson, who will play the shadowy organization's London chief.
Liam Neeson is in negotiations to join Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in Sony's Men in Black spinoff.
The Fate of the Furious filmmaker F. Gary Gray is directing the project, written by Iron Man screenwriters Matt Holloway and Art Marcum. The studio has the film dated for a June 14, 2019, release.
Hemsworth and Thompson are not playing the same alien-fighting and world-saving characters portrayed by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in the initial film trilogy. The new movie is set in the same onscreen world, however.
Plot details and the characters Hemsworth and Thompson will portray are being kept secret, but on the Neeson front, it is known that he will play the head of the Men in Black organization in London, where the story begins.
