They learned the same lesson as the makers of Independence Day: Resurgence

You can't make a Will Smith movie without Will Smith.

I wonder had they had Will Smith as the 'older agent' and recruited a young side kick, would it have worked?

[–] TexasJack (12516) 6 years ago

I think it would have worked well. If the young side kick is Tessa Thompson, you also have a romance storyline available.

A romance storyline with someone old enough to be her father. lol.

He is 50, she is 35. It's not that unusual.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

It'd be unusual for it to be in a Will Smith movie.

This felt nothing like a Men in Black movie at all. Surprised to say it, but I think Will Smith made the movies what they were.

I don't think Independence Day: Resurgence had to have Will Smith to succeed.

It did however need a good script, which it most definitely did not have. Practical effects could have also helped, since all the CGI made it feel like a video game cut scene.

Except at least Resurgence was a fun action movie, this one was just so dull it wasnt even unintentionally funny.
