After getting our first look at Men in Black: International yesterday, Tessa Thompson has shared another new photo from the upcoming sequel, featuring Agents H (Chris Hemsworth) & M (Tessa Thompson) in the Sahara where they're working on saving the world from another interplanetary threat - although, based on the new synopsis, it seems their threat may be a little closer to home than they may have imagined.

The official synopsis for the F. Gary Gray-directed spin-off reads, "The Men in Black have always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe. In this new adventure, they tackle their biggest, most global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization."

There's a mole in the MiB and with the top-secret government agency going international, the traitor could literally be hiding in plain sight, anywhere in the world, which is undoubtedly going to make it that much harder for our heroes to track them down and stop them.

As for potential candidates, outside of our two leads, the film will also feature Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible - Fallout), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley), Rafe Spall (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Laurent Bourgeois (Breaking Through), Larry Bourgeois (Breaking Through), Emma Thompson (Men in Black 3), and Liam Neeson (Batman Begins).

#FBF to me & @chrishemsworth (the ‘Fred’ to my ‘Ginger’) saving the universe, YES, even with sand in our shoes. Also, it was casual Friday for the galaxy defenders— that’s why we lost the jackets— which was handy because it was the Sahara. 🕴🏾🕴🏻#MIBInternational @meninblack

I'll check it out, I won't know unless I see it if I like it

Can't wait

Kumail Nanjiani is the traitor, sorry for the spoiler :D

demery - 12/8/2018, 7:43 AM

@IcemanX - It would be interesting to see Kumail Nanjiani as a bad guy.

JonesTheCat - 12/8/2018, 8:04 AM

@demery - watch Community

They both look reaaaal good

ElJefe - 12/8/2018, 7:25 AM

Gotta be a Will Smith cameo....right?

GhostDog - 12/8/2018, 7:29 AM

@ElJefe - I feel like he could show up for a quick blink and you miss him post credit stinger. They will def mention him.

Tessa character has ties to him apparently

GhostDog - 12/8/2018, 7:30 AM

These two have great chemistry. The MIB films have always had the potential to branch off into a larger universe, so I'm down for this.

MyCoolYoung - 12/8/2018, 8:00 AM

I actually think men in black 3 was a really good movie so I'm looking forward to this one. I love Tessa and Chris.

bkmeijer2 - 12/8/2018, 8:56 AM

My guess is that Liam Neeson is the bad guy. And I hope he gets to have his irish accent

Chewtoy - 12/8/2018, 8:59 AM

I have some hopes for this one... MiB was one of those properties where I feel that the people making them overthought the sequels. It was the big concept that made the original film a hit, with the original chemistry between the leads... more servings of that would have been fine (like the first 2 Indiana Jones sequels... no major changes, just new adventures and new supporting cast members mixed in).

Instead, they felt the need to really mess with the formula... partly because they wrote themselves into a corner with the end of the first one, partly because Tommy Lee Jones seemingly lost interest in doing more than a minor role in the third.

I think that in this post-superhero-film-craze age they probably have a better handle on the balance and know to just tell an entertaining adventure and not a life-changing journey for the main characters.

I remember seeing a Men in Black II & Spider-Man double feature in theaters. That was fun and it made sense because MIB II was so freaking short.

ImmovableForce - 12/8/2018, 4:56 PM

I think I heard this is a reboot. I don't see why it couldn't have simply been a sequel that follows different characters. What really needed rebooting?
