Will Smith just brought back many memories with a Men in Black clip. The actor began his career as a rapper and then got into comedy characters. Today, he is one of the biggest stars in the world. But some of his initial roles are the ones that will be remembered forever. One of the actor’s recent posts took him and his fans on a trip to nostalgia.

The King Richard star put up an Instagram post where one side showed his latest photo and the other half showed his action sequence from the detective and sci-fi-based Men in Black movie. Being a detective in the movie, the scene showed a young Smith running behind a suspect, and even jumping down a bridge. He worked in a specialized agency where they tracked down evil aliens to save the planet. Smith was seen wearing a white t-shirt with an orange jacket and matching loose pants in the movie.

These were the exact clothes that the actor wore in a recent click. He put it alongside the video after a fan pointed out the similarities in the outfit. Men in Black was first released in 1997 and its success led to several sequels after that. The last installation of the movie starring him and Tommy Lee Jones hit the screens in 2012.

“Many fans wanted to watch this ‘inspirational’ actor’s movie again,” a fan wrote.

Another social media user mentioned, “That ain’t some shit you just forget”

With so many sequels being made years after, fans even want to see Men in Black happen again. In 2019, Chris Hemsworth starred in Men in Black 4 for a change, but it ranked at the box office. With the Oscar drama behind, and films moving again, we could likely see Smith star in another Men in Black movie.
