♪ The galaxy is massive ♪

[Kumail and Tessa laughing]

♪ They like wearing black suits ♪

♪ The universe astounds me ♪

I don't know, We're gonna work on it.

[upbeat music]

Oh, hi, I'm Tessa Thompson and I play Agent M.

Well, I'm Chris Hemsworth and I play Agent H.

I'm Kumail Nanjiani, and I play Pawny.

We're gonna read some fan theories.

Oh, yeah, we're gonna read,

we have these fan theories from the Internet,

and we're gonna read them.

JAGUARS_Bite7 thinks the men in black are in the MCU.

Hmm.

So I just had this interesting thought

since the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer tells us

that the multi-verse is real.

There's a multi-verse?

I wonder could we see the Men in Black

in the MCU in the near future?

Since Men in Black: International

is coming soon and has both Chris Hemzworth,

spelled with a Z, love that, or a zed,

Mh-hm. as you like to say,

and Tessa Thompson in it,

could we see that universe in the MCU?

The trailers for the movie show the main threat

to be a shape shifting alien species.

That reminds me of Skrull in the comics

and the plot is similar sounding to Secret Invasion.

Hey Jaguar listen, um, it's, anything's possible isn't it?

You know, and, uh, I think there could be

some good connective tissue there

between the MIB and, you know, the Marvel Universe.

And, you know, we could work together in a cohesive unit.

Next summer, coming to you, in a cinema near you.

[Tessa laughs]

Bayani Miguel Acebedo, he believes

he knows the origin of Pawny's name.

Ooh, perfect.

I think the Pawny name should be a reference to

Tony Shalhoub's character Jack Jeebs,

who is an alien in the original MIB who runs a pawn shop.

Do you have any idea how much that stings?

[All] Hmm.

Say it, say what's your theory.

[laughing] I don't know.

Uh, you are wrong.

Yeah. Tell, tell them why Pawny ...

'Cause he was,

Because I'm a pawn on a chess board, that's,

so she calls me Pawny, and that's where it comes from.

It's not from Jack Jeebs, uh.

We'll have fun with it.

Uh, Rudio87 asks about a Men in Black theme song remake.

TessaThompson_X any way we're getting a remake of you

singing Men in Black because that would be the 2019 jam.

[mouth pop]

Yeah, there's a chance.

And what would that sound like?

[Chris] That right there, yeah.

How would it go?

Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

I don't know, I have to write it, I have to ...

♪ Here come the peeps in black. ♪

You didn't know the lyrics earlier,

and you asked me if it said, [laughing]

he asked me if the lyrics were, the galaxy's confusing.

Yeah.

♪ The galaxy is massive. ♪

♪ The universe astounds me. ♪

Um, I don't know, we're gonna work on it.

WhatwouldJesusMtnDew, [laughing]

that's funny. What would Jesus do?

Is that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones

in the first painting on the right?

Yes, [clearing throat] yes it is.

Well done, very good observation.

[chuckles]

Chris is learning this week.

[all laugh]

It's his first day of speaking and he's come a long way.

Hammy Morely believes Tessa's character is an alien.

It's another long one.

Tessa Thompson's character has

[Together] Got!

to be an alien. [lauging]

There's a lot of caps coming and you'll be able

to tell by my pronunciation.

So you know how [shouting] Men in Black movies

[shouting] love tiny aliens inside a human form?

I think she is one lil' alien operating Tessa's body.

[Tessa] Cute little alien. Huh.

And, Kumail's character recognizes her through the body.

I do, generally, recognize most people through the body.

The Body. Yeah.

You don't look anywhere above the neck.

I go body, I have face blindness and body sight.

[laughing]

Kumail's character recognizes her through the body

and that's why he asks if she's queen, #showerthoughts.

I love that this person's thinking about my body.

In the #shower wait, wait, wait.

What's shower thoughts?

That's what they think when they're in the shower?

You're learning how to think too today.

Um, so what do you think, you're an alien

and I recognize you Yeah.

Tessa's gonna give you a great answer.

Tessa.

Um, she's not, no, I think she is,

okay, I will say that she is alien

in the sense that she feels other

because she has this, stop, whatdaya want me to do?

No, no, no, I'm looking at them as you answer.

I'm supporting you. No, no, no, no.

Very dramatically, staring down the lense.

[Kumail] I'm supporting you.

Robbing you of your moment. I'm just, yeah.

I'm really not, I'm just looking.

Judging me for being poignant.

He's, you were pouncing down the lense.

You're like No.

Judging me for being poignant.

That's my brand.

[laughing]

I think, Hammy Morley, I think you got something there.

Yeah, rufspongebob thinks agent M is a former MIM agent.

What's MIM?

Mission. Men in Men.

That's a different thing.

Men in [lauging] Men in Men,

that's something I'd like to watch.

Wooh, I bet the twist would be Tessa Thompson's character

is revealed to be a former leading MIB agent

whose memory was wiped after some incident

where Hemsworth was a part of, aww, thanks.

Yeah, that's cute.

Um, you bet wrong.

JQuasto predicts Agent K cameo.

I'm already on board for the new Men in Black,

but if there is a scene where they randomly come

across a happy Agent K on vacation with his wife

and he gives them one of those wait a minute looks,

I'll just flip and start tossing dollar bills at the screen,

[laughs]

#MIBInternational.

Well, #getthosedollarbillsout, buddy.

But, also, the person's already at the theater,

so you've already tossed your dollar bills

at the screen. And, the money

that you're throwing, that's gonna go

to the other theater patrons.

We're not gonna get it.

Yeah, or the people that clean-up

Could you at concessions.

Which Which is good.

And when people leave their trash, I don't like it.

I never leave my trash. Pick it up.

Like I know, I know.

Cash and trash.

[laughing]

It's like a song.

Cash and trash, yeah, isn't that

Cash and trash.

Is that the Men in Black remix song.

We should tip, we should tip the people

that clean-up after us.

We really should. Make that a thing.

Sammmcurry, three m's, thinks there will be an agent I.

[laughing]

Mmm kay, so previous MIB movies there was agent J,

K, L, and O and MIB I there's agent M and H,

so I bet Kumail's alien guy is going to become Agent I.

Why, what does that all spell>?

J, K, L, J.K. Rowling. Oh my God.

No, those are the other, J, K, L.

J.K. Rowling?

Learning to spell?

What she wrote the book?

[laughing]

Can't see from over here, o'er here.

J, K, L, N, O.

Yeah. And then,

there's M and H, so I bet it's I

M and m?

I, J, K, L, M, oh, but there's no n.

Ah, sammmcurry.

Mmm.

Mmm kay.

Words with friends, mmmkay.

This is incorrect, this is.

[clears throat] Jack Hill believes the MID, B

neuralized Thor and Valkyrie, [laughs]

You got MIB wrong?

I thought it said mib.

[lauging]

believes the mib neuralized Thor and Valkyrie

and convinced them they were mib agents.

How the [mouths the word], it's what it says,

did they manage to mind [laughs]

[Together] Mind wide?

mind wide, what's that mean,

mind wide two whole Asgardians

and convince them they were MIB agents?

[clears throat] they were like,

ah, look over here, we've got the new infinity stone

hidden within this neuralizer.

And, we're like, oh, where is it,

pssh, neuralized us, here we are.

I think that's, that's very good.

Pretty good, huh, Tessa?

Instinct2020 wonders about Agent M's real name.

Any idea on what Agnet M's real name is?

I guess May I.

Either Madison, Matilda, Maria, Mackenzie,

or Maura could be good choices [laughs].

Maura.

I love this, Maura.

Instinct2020, Maura [laughs].

Maura could be a good choice.

[lips kissing] Love you.

What about, [laughs]

What?

What about Mumbrella?

[laughing]

My mum had an umbrella yesterday.

So, we called her Mumbrella the Great.

[laughing]

Did you?

Yeah, just became her name for the afternoon.

Cool, Johnny25711 believes there's a Thanos connection.

So, Thor and Valkyrie are following Thanos' shoes

by the joining the MIB.

Ah, 'cause Josh Brolin is Thanos and he was in the MIB.

Ah, yes.

He's young Tommy Lee Jones.

That's a pretty good theory.

There's a lot a little connections there, isn't there?

There are, that's true.

World is small. Oh, and that's,

we're out of questions.

That's all the questions, oh, no.

No more people Guys.

thinking you guys are in the MCU.

I like. Some of them are,

some of them I'm more inspired

to do some re-shoots on the movie.

I know, true.

Re-tool the thing. And, and, and,

add these wonderful ideas in there.

Yeah, I feel mind-widened

by these theories. I feel

more of mine was widened as well.

And, I can recognize people through the body.

[laughing]

I love these theories. I like your body.

Thanks, I love your body.

What?

[Together] I was talking to him.

[laughing]

Yes, and this is great.

I'll need that tape.
