That said, sources stress that Smith is not attached to the project and will not commit to anything until he has read a script. Watch on Deadline Like the Bad Boys franchise, Men In Black is seen as a valuable property at the studio following the success of the 1997 original. The franchise has earned a collective $1.904 billion globally at the box office (counting the original, two sequels and 2019’s reboot MIB: International). The new film is still very early development so no producer deals are in place, but all previous MIB movies were produced by Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, with Steven Spielberg executive producing. As for Bremner, the writer has become a go-to scribe after writing the past two Bad Boys films that have earned a collective $837.1 million at the global box office. He has also become a go-to writer for Smith-led projects, recently penning the Netflix action thriller Fast & Loose which is expected to be Smith’s next film. Bremner is repped by WME and Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment. Must Read Stories Source: https://deadline.com/2025/12/new-men-in-black-movie-bad-boys-for-life-writer-1236636023/
