Josh Brolin is preparing to fight aliens with Will Smith – he’s reportedly in talks to join the Men In Black.

The hugely successful series, which follows the adventures of alien immigration officers, first hit the big screen in 1997 and was followed by a hit 2002 sequel, Men in Black II.

The franchise is being resurrected for a third movie by Tropic Thunder screenwriter Etan Cohen, and Hollywood superstar Smith is expected to reprise his role as Agent J.

Brolin is now said to be in negotiations to join the cast, amid rumors he will replace Smith’s former onscreen partner Tommy Lee Jones, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Director Barry Sonnenfeld is expected to return to helm his third Men In Black, which is expected to begin production next year.
