Tongues first started wagging surrounding the project in March.

And Men In Black fans will no doubt be overjoyed to discover all systems are go as Chris Hemsworth was spotted on the first day of filming on the spin-off in London on Sunday.

The original movie was released in 1997 and saw Will Smith and Tommy Lee-Jones, who are not set to star in the movie, playing members of a secret organization, known as the Men in Black, and protected Earth from intergalactic bad guys.

Chris, 34, seemed to prove he was the perfect candidate to step up as he looked incredibly sharp in his black suit with a black tie and shades.

Although little is known of the movie at this point, the handsome star certainly looked like the main man as he strutted around the set.

Chris was initially linked to the Men In Black film back in February when speculation grew that he would be joining the franchise following his Thor: Ragnarok success.

Also confirmed to be joining the cast is Chris’ Thor co-star Tessa Thompson, who also starred in the last season of Westworld, as his alien-fighting partner, as well as Liam Neeson, Kumail Nanjiani and Rafe Spall.

The first three films followed Will and Tommy as characters K and J, members of a secret organisation who hunted extra-terrestrials.

However it is believed that rather than taking over those roles in the upcoming movie Chris will be given a new character to get his teeth into.

Chris previously told Variety: ‘We’re developing the script now. We’re basically trying to put a lot of humour in to it like the previous ones.

Big move: ‘These are obviously some big, big shoes to fill, so we’re working our butts off on it to make something pretty epic and fun’

‘These are obviously some big, big shoes to fill, so we’re working our butts off on it to make something pretty epic and fun. They’re trying to change up the locations, make it feel unique and different to the last ones as well…

‘So I think you might even see some different countries, maybe. Some different cities than you’ve seen in the previous Men In Black movies.”

Director F. Gary Gray is onboard to direct the film as Sony develop the reboot which is set for release in June 2019.

Woah! Chris previously said: ‘We’re developing the script now. We’re basically trying to put a lot of humour in to it like the previous ones’
