Is Men in Black 5 ever going to get made, and when will it be released? Named after the popular conspiracy theory, the Men in Black franchise revolves around a secret government agency that works to protect Earth from extraterrestrial threats. It’s a sci-fi spin on the “buddy cop” formula with the potential for countless sequels exploring new alien villains. However, there are a few obstacles standing in the way of Men in Black 5 – it’s been a few years since the last mainline installment in the series, and Men in Black star Will Smith is swamped in controversy.
The last Men in Black movie, Men in Black: International, was panned by critics and underperformed at the box office, grossing just over $253 million worldwide (via Box Office Mojo). That’s not an insignificant figure, but it’s also not particularly impressive for a big-budget entry in a popular franchise. Despite this failure, the Men in Black brand is so lucrative that Men in Black 5 seems inevitable. Is it confirmed, and when will it be released?
