12 Most Anticipated Upcoming Original Movie Characters

7. Chris Hemsworth's Agent Character - MIB

The Role: Details are still scant, but Chris Hemsworth will be playing a British Men in Black agent who teams up with a new recruit (Tessa Thompson) to help prevent a global catastrophe.

Why You Should Be Excited: Though it's easy to be cynical about Men in Black getting the reboot treatment, this is a brilliant spot of casting indeed.

Hemsworth has proven his show-stealing comedic chops in the recent likes of Ghostbusters, Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War, and re-teaming him with Ragnarok's Valkyrie is a genius move that speaks for itself.

If the material is strong enough and director F. Gary Gray gives Hemsworth enough room to improv, it's easy to see his new unnamed agent character being a strong match for the iconic originals (though presumably he won't be playing a substitute for Tommy Lee Jones' stern Agent K).
