The Hollywood Reporter:

Chris Hemsworth is in early negotiations to star in Sony’s self-styled spinoff of the sci-fi action comedy franchise Men in Black.

F. Gary Gray, who directed last year’s Fate of the Furious, is due to helm the movie, which has a script by Iron Man writers Matt Holloway and Art Marcum. The film is slated for release on June 14, 2019

Hemsworth’s appearances in Ghostbusters and Thor: Ragnarok make it clear he can balance comedy and action. I’d be for this.

By the way, this whole idea of exploring a franchise with unrelated characters, without impacting the originals directly? I’m into it.

Worked for Jumanji, worked for 21 Jump Street, can work here.
