 Actors Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson flew to Moscow to
launch the fourth installment of the science fiction franchise
originally starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, which pits
suited agents against aliens disguised as humans on Earth.
In "Men in Black: International", the "Avengers" star and
"Creed" actress play Agent H and Agent M, who have to find a
mole in the organization. As in the other installments, cars and
gadgets take center stage.
"We had this pretty cool souped-up Lexus that we got to drive
which has all sorts of gadgets and the ability to ... fly across
water and fly up walls and all sorts of things," Hemsworth told
reporters on Thursday.
"And then there was this old classic Jag (Jaguar) that just
looked like a classic beautiful car but again, all the weapons
... come out of the exhaust pipe and the side-view mirror and so
on, so that was pretty awesome."
Thompson paid tribute to Smith. "The first ("Men in Black") film
marks his real entry into global stardom and I think now we can
take it for granted because there are a lot of people of color
in Hollywood but he was really ... one of the first."

The agents try to keep Earth's alien population a secret from
humans, and use neuralyzer devices to wipe people's memories if they
see too much.
Given a real neuralyzer, "I'd probably attempt to ... forget all the
wonderful films that I'd watched over the years, that I grew up on,
and erase them and experience that joy all over again," Hemsworth
said.
"Certain films ... I've seen 10, 15 times and still love them but
wish I could have that very first impression and experience again."
The movie, which hits cinemas from next week, also stars Liam Neeson
and Emma Thompson, who featured in "Men in Black 3".
