Men in Black: International is a 2019 Science Fiction action comedy, and the fourth film of the Men in Black series, directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Straight Outta Compton, The Fate of the Furious) and written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (Iron Man).Molly Wright lived her life being aware of the existence of aliens and the Men in Black ever since avoiding neuralisation as a child. Finally landing a lead on them as an adult, she infiltrates their New York headquarters and insistently volunteers herself to be recruited into the agency. Impressed by her tenacity, Agent O recruits her under the codename "Agent M", and sends her to MIB's UK branch for probationary training. There, M assigns herself to partner with Agent H, UK's top agent who has gone soft ever since defeating an evil race of aliens known as the Hive with his former partner and current head of the UK branch, High T, three years ago. When a pair of shapeshifting aliens seeking a Weapon of Mass Destruction arrives on Earth, hinting at the return of the Hive, it is up to Agents H and M to travel the world to keep the weapon safe, find The Mole amongst their ranks, and save Earth from the impending second arrival of the Hive.Conceived as a spinoff, it is the first film in the Men in Black series to not feature Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as Agents J and K. Replacing them as leads are Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as Agents H and M, respectively, while Emma Thompson reprises her role as Agent O from Men in Black 3. Also in the film are Liam Neeson as the head of the UK MIB branch, High T, as well as Kumail Nanjiani, Rafe Spall, and Rebecca Ferguson.Previews: Trailer 1.

Mythology Gag
 Men in Black: International / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Agent O's line about being "recognized only as déjà vu and dismissed just as quickly" harkens back to Zed's monologue in the first movie. Also, as Agent M is being suited up in the trailer, one can see a box containing guns that appear to be an updated version of the classic Noisy Cricket. In an inversion of the classic "Noisy Cricket" gag from the first movie (a tiny gun that lets out a massive blast), there's a moment in the trailer where M and H have to work together to fire a massive laser cannon... which at first lets out only a tiny little puff of smoke. The movie continues the gag from the previous movies (and cartoon series) of establishing real-life famous people as being aliens. This time the celebrity aliens include Ariana Grande, Elon Musk, J. J. Abrams and Donald Glover. Like in the first movie, trashy tabloids are actually telling the truth about the mysteries of the universe. Molly uses one of these to predict where an alien will land and thus find the MIB headquarters. Amusingly, the goofy-looking alien being apprehended by the MIB is identical to the cheesy illustration on that tabloid's cover.

Actor Allusion: Liam Neeson's very first line is "I hate Paris." Who would blame him? Also, Liam Neeson plays a protagonist's mentor who is later revealed to be the Big Bad. Sound familiar? During a confrontation with an alien, Chris Hemsworth's Agent H wields a hammer, which he throws at an alien, who catches it. H even takes a moment to struggle to reach for the hammer, as if he were trying to call it into his hand.

comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: In-universe, when M is re-buttoning H's dress shirt, and again when they have their conversation in the desert about love. Meta example is that in an interview, Tessa Thompson stated that in the script, H and M were meant to come across like siblings, but she and Chris Hemsworth have such chemistry (understandable, as they are good friends in real life) that it came across like they're in love with each other while filming the movie.

Zero-Approval Gambit: H invokes it when he, M, and C figure out T is the mole and is on his way to Paris to betray the organization to the Hive. H and M go off after him and H tells C to stay behind and that if they don't come back to say that he (H) was the mole because the revelation that one of the most decorated agents in MIB history was a mole would cripple the whole organization. Thankfully, the ploy didn't need to be used.

Good All Along: The alien twins turn out to be looking for the superweapon to destroy the Hive, not help them. It's a bit undermined by the fact that they still murdered a completely innocent man for a disguise, though. And Vungus the Ugly. And all the chesspieces aliens (aside of Pawn). All of them being apparently completely innocent and decent people/aliens. And they apparently don't care if their actions put in danger of retaliation the whole Earth for the death of Vungus. Good probably is not the most fitting word...

comment
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Agent H is referred to as "one of the best to ever wear the suit"... and he's introduced napping at his desk before getting woken up by M and going to get lunch at 9:30. He quickly proves to be a deconstruction since all of his colleagues hate him at best, his friends have abandoned him, and the only reason he keeps his job is because High T looks out for him, and even he is getting tired of cleaning up H's messes. It is implied that his tendencies were due to a Hive-infected T's neuralization of him. Also, the Hive needed to keep an eye on him.

It's eventually revealed that this is literally all H remembers of the event, as he was neuralyzed by the Hive-infected High T to conceal the fact that he didn't actually beat the Hive.

Possibly the biggest in the series shows up in the form of the weapon that serves as the MacGuffin for most of the film. At its lowest setting, it carves a Grand Canyon-sized crevasse into the Rub al Khali desert. It's said that it can destroy solar systems at its highest setting, and is powered by a super-compressed blue giant star.

Held Gaze: Two significant moments, mere minutes apart, in the final scenes of the film. When Agent O reveals that she wants M to come back to New York and Agent H to temporarily run the London office, H and M stare at each other before M moves away to finish talking to O. Then, before she leaves, they both stare affectionately, perhaps even longingly at each other, before M walks away. Subverted in that in the next scene, M pops into his car because she wasn't quite ready to leave him yet.

Be Careful What You Wish For: One of the reasons M gives for becoming a MIB is that she doesn't have any personal connections and no-one will miss her if she were to just disappear one day. By the end of the film, she's become friends with H and might even be attracted to him, but the two of them have to part ways because MIB agents rarely stay in one place and go wherever they're needed.

Retcon: The first film said that the Men in Black originated from a (presumably American) government program in the mid 1950s and the first alien arrivals were in 1961 outside New York. This film says that the first aliens arrived via a wormhole in the Eiffel Tower in the 1890s, and that Gustave Eiffel (died in 1923) was one of the first Men in Black.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: H is poisoned, and begging a female alien for the antidote, he promises her anything she wants. Cue him waking up in bed next to her. He doesn't seem happy, but neither he nor the film itself goes as far as to treat this as rape. However, a deleted scene shows that prior to leaving her apartment, he wrote a message to himself with her lipstick on a mirror prior to neuralizing himself that said "just walk away and don't look behind you".

Irony: When Agent M first arrives in UK headquarters, she stares at an alien-monitoring screen featuring a country-based celebrity cameo (in the original US version, Ariana Grande, Elon Musk, J. J. Abrams and Donald Glover), to which High T comments "It's never who you think it is." Indeed, High T's body was already long taken over by the Hive and is now a member of the Hive masquerading as him.

Expy: You may be excused for thinking you're watching another Sony Pictures franchise. Liam Neeson's portrayal of T as head of the London office who was the agent who saved the world at one point on a mission with H remarkably echoes that of another Badass Bureaucrat as played by Ralph Fiennes. And Chris Hemsworth's portrayal of Agent H borders at times on an blatantly unsubtle audition for another role that Hemsworth has stated he'd "love" to play.

comment
Like in the first movie, trashy tabloids are actually telling the truth about the mysteries of the universe. Molly uses one of these to predict where an alien will land and thus find the MIB headquarters. Amusingly, the goofy-looking alien being apprehended by the MIB is identical to the cheesy illustration on that tabloid's cover.
