Emma Thompson, who portrayed Smith and Lee&#8217;s characters&#8217; boss in 2012&#8217;s <strong>Men In Black 3<\/strong> has been announced as returning to the franchise to once again play Agent O.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, Thompson&#8217;s character will be overseeing a different pair of MIB agents \u2013 Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. Nothing else has been revealed about the film&#8217;s plot although given the usual franchise parameters it will involve aliens and a fair bit of slapstick comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Also joining the cast are Liam Neeson, Kumail Nanjiani and Rafe Spall.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting is set to start in London in the next couple of days with <strong>Fate Of The Furious<\/strong> director F. Gary Gray behind the camera calling the shots. The studio is hoping that the film will revitalize the franchise which launched when the original 1997 film was a surprise blockbuster hit. A sequel followed in 2002 and it was a decade before the third installment, which introduced Thompson&#8217;s character, hit theaters.<\/p>\n<p>The currently untitled film is set for a June 14, 2019 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Agent O is back to oversee the latest agents at MIB &#8211; Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/07\/25\/emma-thompson-returns-for-men-in-black-spinoff\/\" title=\"Emma Thompson Returns For MEN IN BLACK Spinoff\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[994,1214,2372],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-44196","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-emma-thompson","9":"tag-f-gary-gray","10":"tag-men-in-black"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44196"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=44196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
