Geekery: ‘Men in Black – International’ Reunites Two Marvel Stars

< 1

Dec 20 2018

Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth team up for a new alien infested adventure – this time they’re fighting on Earth and they’re wearing some familiar black suits.

The secret organization has protected the Earth from the evils of the rest of the universe for years. In this new movie they have to fight their biggest threat yet: a mole inside of the Men in Black.

The story is based on a comic by Lowell Cunningham, who created the universe. F. Gary Gray (Friday, The Italian Job) is in the director’s chair – he’s a great choice to helm this with his ability to film fun action, and really land jokes at the right moments. Cast is helmed by two actors that have already proven they have great on screen chemistry: Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth. And we get Liam Neesson and Emma Thompson playing the serious agents in charge. It’s a good team over all.

Yep, it’s a reboot. I know that’s an automatic no for a lot of folks; it usually is for me. That said, what I’m seeing here is a ridiculous, fun summer movie that understands what it is. That’s something I’ll buy a ticket to.

Men in Black: International hits theaters this summer.
