Directed by F. Gary Gray (Fate of the FuriousFriday), the film is set within the universe of the original trilogy but unfolds outside the U.S. in various locations around the globe. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson star in the movie as Agents H and M, respectively, with Liam Neeson playing the head of the London branch of the alien-investigation agency Men in Black. Emma Thompson will reprise her role as O, the head of the American branch of the agency.

The film has Agent H and new recruit Agent M getting caught up in a case with global implications as a murder mystery turns into something much, much bigger than they anticipated. The story reportedly has them traveling around the world in order to solve the case.

Along with the aforementioned cast members, Men in Black International will also feature Mission: Impossible – Fallout actress Rebecca Ferguson in an unspecified role (rumored to be the villain), as well as Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom actor Rafe Spall, Oscar-nominated The Big Sick actor Kumail Nanjiani, and street-dancing duo Laurent Nicolas Bourgeois and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois (aka Les Twins). The latter actors appear prominently in the trailer, in both a dancing scene (appropriately enough) and in another scene that suggests they might not be what they initially seem.

Original Men in Black franchise stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are not expected to play a role in the film, but the trailer does feature a brief shot of two paintings — one depicting Hemsworth and Neeson’s characters fighting an alien creature, and the other depicting Smith and Jones’ characters fighting the villain from the first Men in Black movie.

The official title for the film was revealed in early December. Based on a script penned by Iron Man writers Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, Men in Black International will be the first film in the franchise to not be directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who helmed all three of the original trilogy’s installments.

Men in Black International is scheduled to hit theaters June 14, 2019.

Blue Beetle trailer introduces a new hero to the DC Universe
Xolo Maridueña catches a bus in Blue Beetle.

Among superheroes, Blue Beetle is pretty far down the list when it comes to name recognition in the real world. Both Shazam! and Black Adam have bigger followings, and that didn't exactly work out for them at the box office. So why is Blue Beetle getting a big-screen movie and not the HBO Max original film that he was originally supposed to get? Two reasons, really. First, the titular Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes, will now be the first Hispanic superhero to headline his own DC movie. And second, Jaime is played by Xolo Maridueña, a real rising star thanks to his stint on Cobra Kai. Between Xolo and his character, this film might have something.

Jay Baruchel stars as Mike Lazaridis, the founder of Blackberry. Along with Douglas Fregin, played by director Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche), the duo is approached by Jim Balsillie (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton), who would help turn BlackBerry from a fascinating idea to a billion-dollar company. The relationship between Lazaridis and Balsille became rocky toward the end as the company faced competition from Apple and Google.
