As far as I'm concerned, a MIB 4 is not warranted. Yes, its predecessor was a commercial success, but it ended on a fairly 'full circle' feeling type of closure, hearking back to the first film (and mostly ignoring the dismal second installment). Why risk hurting this proper ending with a fourth film that might needlessly unravel it? I mean, for any reason other than money, which in Hollywood naturally is the only reason that matters, I'm well aware. I guess the studio feels they had better milk the franchise a bit faster this time, while MIB III is still on the audience's mind. Fair enough.

Of course, with a franchise like this, you can still go in ample directions. In fact, were it not for the truth everyone expects to see them, you wouldn't even really need Agents J and K (though their characters deliver the starpower studios think their audiences crave). There's plenty of letters left in the alphabet*. Numerous new agent characters and equally novel zany aliens with wacky issues all their own that make for crazy situations that need to be policed by Men in Black can still be introduced if Smith and Jones happen to turn down their parts in the fourth film (which of course they're not likely to do if their pay grade is tempting enough). This concept actually might work well as a TV series (and I don't mean a cartoon, which has already been done). But obviously, the studio doesn't feel like thinking in such expansive terms if they can still make a decent amount of money by just playing it safe. Oh well, there's a good chance MIB 4 will turn out a fun blockbuster movie (like MIB III). Then again, it might also suck extraterrestrial balls. Like the balls that one alien carried on his chin in MIB 2, which was a painfully unfunny flick due to a number of this type of poopy gags the thought of which you couldn't even erase with one of those flashy thingies that wipe your memory. Hopefully Sony understands that isn't the way to go in Men in Black 4...

* Yes, that was me appropriately quoting Star Trek: First Contact.
