Will Smith's Timeless Sci-Fi Hits Keep Streaming Strong

Will Smith's early sci-fi series, Men in Black, is still a big deal on streaming platforms, even years after his last appearance as Agent J. The first three movies, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, came out in 1997, 2002, and 2012. Despite no new movies since 2019's Men in Black: International, the first three films are still popular on Paramount+. Right now, Men in Black 3 is the eighth most-watched movie on Paramount+, beating out recent hits like Top Gun: Maverick. Men in Black 2 is in sixth place, and the original is in fourth. The top three spots are held by other comedies, but the Men in Black movies are still doing well. The first three movies were big hits with both critics and audiences. The latest one, International, didn't do as well. It got bad reviews and didn't make much money. The first three movies were all about the fun chemistry between Smith's Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K. In the third movie, Josh Brolin played a younger version of Agent K. International tried to start fresh with new actors, but it didn't work out. There have been rumors about a fifth movie, but nothing is official yet. The fact that the first three movies are still popular on streaming might mean fans are ready for another adventure with Agent J. It's unclear if Jones would return, but Brolin could come back to play the younger version of Agent K.
