Tessa Thompson says she hopes MIBInternational pushes studios to make more woman-led films
Chris Hemsworth Responds to the 'Avengers: Endgame' Fat-Shaming Thor Controversy
When asked why the film is called “Men in Black,” given that Thompson is one half of the starring duo, the actress admits she doesn’t mind the title because it holds the brand equity of a well-known franchise. “My presence in it because I’m a woman shouldn’t diminish the fact that we’re making a movie very much in the same tone and style as the original films,” she says.
Thompson teases that if more “Men in Black” movies are made with her and Hemsworth, perhaps the film title will evolve. “Maybe that will change,” she says. “It was very important to us. We’ve come to expect, as we should, that we have great female leads in these films,” MacDonald says. “It really was invigorating creatively for us to create that character and gave a really interesting dynamic with Chris…it was natural.”
