The cameras are due to start rolling this month in London on the reboot/spin-off/alien abduction of Men In Black. And the main cast is closer to completion, with Rafe Spall and Kumail Nanjiani joining up.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word of Spall's casting, though offers no details of what he might be playing. The trade mag also reveals that street dancing duo Les Twins, also known as Laurent Nicolas Bourgeois and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois are aboard, and we'd have to guess their talents will be used to bring alien creatures to life.
That Hashtag Show, meanwhile, reports that The Big Sick's Nanjiani is playing a wise-cracking extra-terrestrial alongside stars Chris Hemsworth (as Agent H, a suave, slightly goofy British MIB officer) and Tessa Thompson (reportedly playing Molly, who knows aliens exists and aims to join the organisation).
With F. Gary Gray directing from a script by Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, the new Men In Black – which exists in the same world as the original trilogy – will be in cinemas on 14 June next year.
