• The host speculates that Will Smith could return as an "old school agent" training a new partner.

• The 2019 attempt (Men in Black: International) was a "fun movie" but "wasn't the same" and ultimately "needs Will Smith" to succeed.

• The involvement of Tommy Lee Jones (Agent K) is still unknown.

• "Their plan now is to bring a fresh script to Will and get Agent Jay back."

• "But even if they were to bring Jay in as kind of the old school agent at this point, I got a fresh take on the original movie where maybe he's training somebody new. I think that might work really well..."

• "It was a fun movie, just it wasn't the same. It needs Will Smith, Superbad."
