While Men in Black 3 Land this week on Netflix (too bad, the rest of the saga is not available on the platform), the question is relaunched around a possible following the adventures of men in black. But between persistent rumors, nostalgia and uncertainties, the return of Men in Black Is it really necessary?
Does the franchise still have something to say?
After the very mixed welcome from Men in Black : InternationalSony could give in to the sirens of the cinematographic revival, and bet again on the most select secret agency in the galaxy. Still, beyond the announcements and speculations, a return of the original men in black would undoubtedly lack consistency. Recycling a franchise to make it profitable as much as possible, it is good (it is even the standard in Hollywood); It is still necessary to make sure not to spoil the unconditional love of an audience as nostalgic as it is entering.
The last film did not frankly marked the spirits, and if many dream of a legacy sequel Top Gun : Maverickwhere Will Smith would pass the torch to a new generation of agents, while keeping the spirit of the beginnings, the saga may be of interest to (really) renew its speech, just to avoid going in circles.
An inevitable return, but not for immediately
Sony will probably not let his license die, even if it means forcing the hand on a return to dark rooms or on a small screen. The restart of the saga through the international episode was a flop, but there is no question of staying on a failure. In 2023, Tom Rothman, the president of Sony Pictures declared on this subject: “Men in Black remains a very important asset of the company, and I would be very surprised that it is the last film“. Let it be like it or not, we will have to expect new galactic adventures. Only consolation: if the franchise is grunt in a failed comeback, it will always be time to take out our combat flash to try to erase too painful memories.
