With the upcoming Men in Black spinoff/reboot already having Thor: Ragnarok duo Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson leading the charge, now comes word on a potential new addition for the return of the MiB franchise.

As per Variety, Liam Neeson is in talks to join the picture, with the one-time Qui-Gon Jinn lined up to play the head of the London branch of the Men in Black.

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.
