Will Smith is expected to slip on a dark suit and shades for another installment of Men In Black, according to movie bosses.

The superstar returned to his role of Agent J in the third film in the sci-fi franchise earlier this year (12) after a decade-long wait, and proved the series is still a success at the box office after it raked in $615 million.

Now Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad, the man in charge of the studio behind the films, has given a fourth movie the green light.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "We're very pleased with the financial performance of Men in Black 3, and we believe it is an ongoing franchise. We're going to do (another one), but we don't have clarity yet on how it should be done."
