Josh Brolin Could Be One of the MEN IN BLACK…3

Evidently, Josh Brolin could be turning his duster and facial scars from JONAH HEX in for a black suit and some shades if what the LA Times is reporting has any validation to it.  They are reporting the Academy Award nominee is being considered for a role in the third MEN IN BLACK film, one that would make him a member of the team.

Who, exactly, Brolin will be playing is being kept under wraps, though rumors are coming out that he could be a new member of the duo joining Tommy Lee Jones’ K and Will Smith’s J.  There are also rumors that Brolin could be playing Jones’ K as a younger man.

Personally, what I would like to see, is Jones and Brolin team up to take on an alien that looks like Javier Bardem.  I’m sure that’s not what screenwriter Etan Cohen (Cohen?  Hmmm?) is going for.  However, production is scheduled to begin sometime in 2010 and Smith, Jones, and director Barry Sonnenfeld are all assumed to be returning.
