Will Smith Pondering Return in ‘Men in Black III’
A few weeks ago we reported that casting was underway for Men in Black III, with Sacha Baron Cohen (Sweeney Todd, Bruno) and Jemaine Clement (“The Flight of the Conchords”) up for the role of a character named “Yaz”, and Josh Brolin still attached. Adding more fuel to the fire, it’s being reported that Will Smith could be returning to Columbia Pictures’ franchise. According to the reports, Smith is pondering which ship he’ll captain next, Men in Black III or 20th Century Fox’s fantasy-adventure The City That Sailed. News is expected very soon. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Igor, Idiocracy) wrote the screenplay. The 1997 Men in Black grossed nearly $600m worldwide, while its 2002 sequel took in $440m.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
