Will Smith’s $1 Billion Movie In 2019 Made Men In Black’s Struggles Worse
Smith scored a significant win over MiB: International in 2019
It almost experience a give thatInternationalwould be a letdown , especially when word of its output woes came out . Making matters worse is thatMen in Black : Internationalwas released in brief after Will Smith ’s rival blockbuster , Aladdin . Guy Ritchie ’s live - action remaking of the Disney animated classic grossed $ 1.054 billion , despiteAladdin’sRotten Tomatoesrating being rather tepid . While live - activity Disney remakes are practically guaranteed to make money , it was a spoilt look forInternationalthat it went up against a new Smith movie and only made about a quarter of its gross .
TheMen in Blackfranchise is ripe with potential difference , so there is nothing to say a spinoff could n’t have run . Sadly , Internationalwas a exanimate recap that rent the wrong approach , and there was little its lead-in could do to paper over its fault . Aladdinwasn’t even a particularly good moving-picture show , but it still completely overshadowed the fourthMen in Black , which has already been largely forgotten .
Why Men In Black 4 Starring Will Smith Hasn’t Happened Yet
Apparently, Agent J’s story was finished with Men in Black 3
WithRide or fail , Smith has fundamentally markedBad Boysas his favourite series . To date , it ’s the franchise he ’s made the most appearances in , and if he had been opened to a fourthMen in Black , it ’s doubtful the manufacturer would have blocked his return . Even so , during an interview withDigital Spyin 2019 , carbon monoxide gas - manufacturer Laurie MacDonald open up up about whyMen in Black 4with Smith and Jones did n’t encounter .
When we finished the third , we did all sing about the fact that we that we did n’t feel there was another film . It was actually in different terms : so we all talk about it feeling very complete , that somehow because the third dealt with the mystery of Will ’s begetter – it feel emotionally complete .
According to MacDonald , there was a question of whether the franchise itself would continue . Of course , there was excellently talk of doing a franchise crossover calledMiB 23 , where Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill’sJump Streetcharacters would become Men in Black agents . This was scrapped in favor ofInternational . IfRide or Dieis a success , perhapsMen in Black 4with Smith is a opening , and could even boast the old Agent J mentor a younger Colorado - star , flipping the role ’s journeying from the first sashay .

man in Black 4with Smith and ( hopefully ) Jones returning would restore audience ' religious belief in the serial . There is no sign of another sequel happen yet , but given Hollywood ’s trust on IPs , producer will circulate back to it at some point . Whether Smith is concerned enough to reelect once again is another question entirely .
