The Men in Black franchise has treaded mostly familiar territory so far. The first three films co-star Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as Agents J and K, and are primarily set in New York City. But a new sequel starring new leads needed to shake things up a bit, and as we can see in the second trailer for Men in Black: International, the series is taking its familiar black suits and secret agency and expanding them globally.
The new film, directed by F. Gary Gray, stars Tessa Thompson as newbie Agent M and Chris Hemsworth as top-dog Agent H. The trailer, which builds upon the first released look at the film, shows their personal journeys in the film and the beautiful locations they traverse together on their mission.
Men in Black: International also features Tessa Thompson as the first female lead in the franchise, and her story is unique to the universe. As we see in the trailer, a childhood encounter with an alien led to a lifetime of curiosity. She found the Men in Black herself, and becomes a know-it-all rookie agent, partnered with Hemsworth’s heroic H. Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Kumail Nanjiani, and Rebecca Ferguson co-star.
Men in Black: International arrives in theaters June 14, 2019.
