Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement has been cast as the nasty villain in Men in Black 3.
Deadline reports that Clement will join returning cast members Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones for the sequel as ‘baddie’ Yaz . Quite who or what Yaz will be is yet to be determined but we’re sure those bushy eyebrows will prove very menacing.
Barry Sonnenfeld is back in the director’s chair for the 3D film which reportedly sees our agents travelling back in time to 1969 to whoop some extra-terrestrial ass.
Josh Brolin is also tapped to star in the film as the younger Agent K.
Clement is currently on a sell-out Flight of the Conchords tour with musical pal Bret McKenzie but if you didn’t get tickets you can soon find him alongside Steve Carell in Dinner for Schmucks which is due for release in July.
Personally what we’re waiting to hear is the next ‘Big Willie Style’ Men in Black theme!
Here come the Men in Black *clap clap* - tune!
Men in Black 3 has a release date set for May 25, 2012 but let’s hope this time we won’t be needing the neuralizer like after Men in Black 2…
