Short description

Men in Black: International follows a secret agency that has long shielded Earth from extraterrestrial threats. A young woman named Molly, who witnessed an agency operation as a child, tracks down the organization's New York headquarters, where Agent O is impressed enough by her abilities to recruit her as Agent M. Her first assignment takes her to London, where she partners with Agent H. A killing with global consequences leads the pair to suspect that someone inside the agency is passing information to an outside party, and they set out to identify the traitor.

The film is the tenth feature directed by F. Gary Gray, arriving after Straight Outta Compton and The Fate of the Furious. Art Marcum and Matt Holloway wrote the screenplay, and Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald produced. Chris Hemsworth plays Agent H and Tessa Thompson plays Agent M, with Kumail Nanjiani voicing Pawny, Rebecca Ferguson as Riza, Rafe Spall as Agent C and Emma Thompson as Agent O. It is a spin-off set within the same fictional universe as the earlier Men in Black films rather than a direct continuation of them.

Produced on a budget of 110 million dollars, the film took about 254 million dollars worldwide. Audience scores are modest and close to each other, at 5.6 out of 10 on IMDb from roughly 160,000 votes and 5.9 out of 10 on TMDB from over 5,500 votes; a critics' rating of 4.5 out of 10 from 317 reviews places professional assessments below those audience figures.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The first film of the Men in Black franchise, which was not directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.
  • The scene where Agent O meets Agents H and M in Paris was filmed at the Trocadéro Palace. The statues seen by the viewer are called "Woman" and "Man".
  • The agents wear Police brand sunglasses from De Rigo.
  • Initially, it was intended to create a crossover of the television series "21 Jump Street" (1987-1991) and the "Men in Black" film franchise, with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill reprising their roles.
  • Kaivan Novak, who played the role of Vungus, was initially a stand-in, but the filmmakers liked him so much that they added him to the main cast.
  • The arming of the Jaguar XJ6 was the work of the film's art director, Charles Wood. The arsenal includes pistols built into the windows (five in total), firearms in the fuel tank lid, and a machine gun in the rear bumper.
  • Tessa Thompson really liked the character of Peshkin and knew that Kumail Nanjiani would be perfect for the voice acting role. This character was entirely computer-generated, but Nanjiani flew in specifically from London to voice him alongside Thompson and Chris Hemsworth.
