With Sony’s upcoming Men in Black spinoff-cum-reboot having begun to assemble its key cast, now comes word that Emma Thompson will be returning to the franchise.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Thompson will be back to play the Agent O role that she played in Men in Black 3. Thompson joins Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Liam Neeson, Rafe Spall, Kumail Nanjiani, Laurent Nicolas, and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois in the picture.

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.
