Three new stills from MIB3 with Will Smith and Josh Brolin reveal more of the same

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Three new stills from Barry Sonnenfeld’s MEN IN BLACK 3 have shown up online from Empire Magazine’s latest issue (courtesy of CBM) and show Will Smith and Josh Brolin as Agent J and Agent K, respectively, wearing black suits and doing very little else.

Check ’em out below:

Meh. I’m just not sold on another MIB. The first two were fun films, albeit I’ve never needed to see them a second time. I like Will Smith and really wish he’d jump into some edgier material. The guy has got the chops to amp it up, but this just feels like playing it safe and, dare I say, calling it in? Do we really need/want another MIB film?

I guess box office tells the tale on that one as the first two grossed $440 million, not including home video or licensing sales.  I hate the term “cash grab” but I think we can all agree that this is what most people would call a “safe bet.”  Perhaps a new trailer will generate some excitement.  At the least, Josh Brolin playing Tommy Lee Jones should be a hoot.

Here’s what you can expect for now:

Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back…in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, Emma Thompson, Jemaine Clement, and Bill Hader get in on the *yawn* 3D action on May 25th, 2012.

Oh…and Alice Eve…
