Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson starrer Men In Black: International did not have a smooth ride to its release date. Here's what went wrong during the filming of the Men In Black reboot.
It has been reported that the franchise spin-off faced its first hurdle when Sony was no longer keen on making the long talked-about men in black/jump street crossover. The franchise reboot faced behind the camera to reveal that the movie did not have a smooth sail to the release. The move happened after Jump Street producer Neal Moritz refused to join the party. Given that roping in Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith for a Men in Black 4 was “an expensive and not as forward-looking proposition,” Sony reportedly decided to go the reboot way.
There is no sugar-coating way to put this: Men In Black: International has bombed at the box office. The reboot of the hit franchise featuring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson collected a measly $28.5 million dollars at the US box office. On the international front, MIBI collected 73.7 million globally, bringing the worldwide collection to a total of $102.2 million, Forbes reports. The opening weekend figures aren't the only struggles Men In Black: International was going through. A new report details says that the movie had a bumpy road to completion, with the movie's director F Gary Gray almost walking out of the project at a point.

Things just got worse eventually. Insiders revealed that Art Marcum and Matt Holloway Men In Black: International script was “good,” but post-David Beaubaire's exit in summer 2018, Gray and producer Walter Parkes began having differences, a source shared.
It has been reported that the initial drafts of MIBI were “edgier and timelier,” and looped in the idea surrounding immigration. There was a Beatles-like music group who were the bad guys in this flick. The four members would merge into one being as the movie progressed.
