History Film / MenInBlackInternational

* Foreshadowing: [[spoiler: When M is watching the celebrity cameos, [[TheMole High T]] steps forward and comments "It's never who you think", foreshadowing that he is, in fact, the mole in MIB.]]

** The movie continues the gag from the previous movies (and cartoon series) of establishing real life famous people as being aliens. This time the celebrity aliens include Ariana Grande, J.J. Abrams and Donald Glover.

* {{Retcon}}: The first film said that the Men in Black originated from a (presumably American) government program in the mid 1950's and the first alien arrivals were in 1961 outside New York. This film says that the first aliens arrived via a wormhole in the Eiffel Tower in the 1890's, and that Gustave Eiffel (died in 1923) was a founder of the Men in Black.

** During a confrontation with an alien, Chris Hemsworth's Agent H [[Film/{{Thor}} wields a hammer]], which he throws at an alien, who [[Film/ThorRagnarok catches it]]. The lyrics of the music are even timed for an "oh snap" in reference to ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.

* AmbiguousSituation: As a rather blatant "SequelHook that isn't trying to look like a SequelHook", it's never confirmed whether or not M killed [[spoiler: the entire Hive, or simply just K and the segment connected to him.]]

* FlashStep: This is how the Hive possessed Diad race moves, and it's just as UncannyValley as it sounds.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Piers Morgan and Creator/DonaldGlover are aliens. Gustave Eiffel was apparently a founding Men In Black agent.

* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: Fungus gives it to M.

** Pawny asks Agent M if she is a Queen, and Agent H is the one to convince him that a Men in Black agent is "like a queen". In ''Film/AvengersEngdame'', [[spoiler:Chris Hemsworth's character Thor is the one to name Tessa Thompson's character Valkyrie as queen of New Asgard]].

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Piers Morgan and Creator/DonaldGlover is an alien. Gustave Eiffel was apparently a founding Men In Black agent.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Agent H is referred to as "one of the best to ever wear the suit"...and he's introduced napping at his desk before getting woken up by M and going to get lunch at 9:30.
** Deconstructed. All of his colleagues hate him at best, his friends have abandoned him, and the only reason he keeps his job is because High T looks out for him, and even he is getting tired of cleaning up H's messes. [[spoiler:It is implied that his tendencies were due to a Hive-infected T's neuralization of him.]]

** Both M and J are newcomers to the [=MiB=]; however, while J [[NaiveNewcomer had no idea what he was getting in to]], M seems to have actively sought out the organization with the intent of getting a job there.
** H and K are both top agents of the [=MiB=]; however, while K was TheComicallySerious StraightMan to J, H seems to be more of a BunnyEarsLawyer.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Piers Morgan is an alien and Gustave Eiffel was a Men In Black agent.

* MultipleChoicePast: K says in the first movie that the Men in Black was started by the ((presumably American]))government in the 1950s. Here, it's said that Gustave Eiffel was a founding member and he lived in France and died in 1923.

* {{Retcon}}: The first film said that the Men in Black formed in the mid 1950's with the first alien arrivals in 1961 outside New York. This film says that the first aliens arrived via a wormhole in the Eiffel Tower in the 1890's.

Molly Wright lived her life being aware of the existence of aliens and the Men in Black ever since avoiding [[LaserGuidedAmnesia neuralisation]] as a child. Finally landing a lead on them as an adult, she infiltrates their New York headquarters and insistently volunteers herself to be recruited into the agency. Impressed by her tenacity, Agent O recruits her under the codename "Agent M", and sends her to [=MiB=]'s UK branch for probationary training. There, M assigns herself to partner wirh Agent H, UK's top agent who has [[BrokenPedestal gone soft]] ever since defeating an evil race of aliens known as the Hive with his former partner and current head of the UK branch, High T, three years ago. When a pair of shapeshifting aliens seeking a WeaponOfMassDestruction arrives on Earth, hinting at the return of the Hive, it is up to Agents H and M to travel the world to keep the weapon safe, find TheMole amongst their ranks, and save Earth from the impending second arrival of the Hive.

* {{Irony}}: When Agent M first arrives in UK headquarters, she stares at an alien-monitoring screen featuring [[CulturalTranslation a country-based celebrity cameo]], to which High T comments ''"[[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy It's never who you think it is]]."'' [[spoiler:Indeed, [[GrandTheftMe High T's body was already long taken over by the Hive and is now a member of the Hive masquerading as him]].]]
