With the upcoming Men in Black reboot-cum-spinoff now gathering pace, the picture has moved to make some new additions to its cast.

As per The Wrap, Silicon Valley’s Kumani Nanjiani, The Big Short’s Rafe Spall, and street-dancing pair Laurent Nicolas and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois have joined the film. The foursome join a cast that will be headed up by Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, with Liam Neeson in talks for a key role in the movie.

Right now, known plot details are minimal on this latest Men in Black effort bar the fact that it will reportedly be set in London, will feature a new batch of characters to what we’ve seen in the franchise so far, and it seemingly will be more of an ensemble piece this time out rather than largely just focussing on a headlining duo. Neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones will be returning.

To be directed by Straight Outta Compton and The Fate of the Furious’ F. Gary Gray, this to-be-titled MiB movie is currently booked in for a June 2019 release.
