Men In Black International with Chris Hemsworth and Liam Neeson releases first trailer
The very first trailer for Men In Black International was released on Thursday.
The new reboot stars Chris Hemsworth, 35, and Tessa Thompson, 35, reuniting after their collaboration in Thor: Ragnarok. Liam Neeson also has a major role.
The trailer seems to promise a heavier focus on alien-hunting action, although plenty of the original film's comedy seems intact.
