Just an FYI, when I was on twitter years ago, I followed one of the writers of Men in Black, Ed Solomon. (He was half of the duo that created Bill & Ted.)
He was still recieving notices from Sony that he wouldn’t get any residual cheques from the original release of the first MiB because technically, it was still in the red.
From a franchise that was three films in, an animated series, merch and at that point, I think MiB International was in development.
The first one was entertaining and the Men in Black track was extremely catchy (the female R&B chorus is extravagant). Don’t remember the other ones (I think I only saw the 2nd one).
That being said, this is clearly yet another sequel cash in.
