Kumail Nanjiani & Rafe Spall Join Men in Black Spinoff

According to The Wrap and THR, Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Big Sick) and Rafe Spall (The Big Short, Life of Pi), as well as the street-dancing duo Laurent Nicolas and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois, known as the Les Twins, have joined the cast of the Men in Black spinoff film. The film is said to take place in London and centers around a “new combination” of characters and is more of an ensemble film than a duo like the first three movies; Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will not be involved.

The new film will be directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton, The Fate of the Furious) and is being written by Matt Holloway & Art Marcum (Iron Man, Transformers: The Last Knight).
