According to our source, Kumail (Nanjiani) has accepted the offer and will be joining Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Liam Neeson this summer to begin shooting.

The film will feature Hemsworth playing Agent H, a suave but slightly goofy James Bond-esk British MIB agent. It will also co-star Tessa Thompson playing Molly, a young woman who knows that alien exists and is determined to become an MIB agent.

The script, penned by Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, is set within the same universe as the previous films, but puts a contemporary spin on the franchise that captures things on a more global scale. Steven Spielberg is executive producing the film set to come out in the Summer of 2019.

So not a reboot then, surely?

Doesn't seem it. Which, if truly the case, bodes better for the quality of the film IMHO.

Soft reboot? I don't know. I don't know nothing no more.

I've never known anything. So I think you're one-up me there.

As it's not a full reboot, I suppose they'll just be cleaning their cookies and re-starting the browser. :P

A spinoff of some sort would have some potential. MiB has already done time travel, in this case without pressing a reset button. It seems like there's material in this universe for more laughs, if well done (of course)
