Will Josh Brolin star in 'Men in Black 3'?

Oscar-nominated actor Josh Brolin ("No Country for Old Men") could put on a black suit and join Columbia's upcoming "Men In Black 3" sequel, which is not yet greenlit but expected to open in 2011.

The Los Angeles Times says Brolin is being considered for a role, although details are unknown at this point. He could play an MIB agent working with Tommy Lee Jones' K. Or he could play a younger K.

Whatever his role will end up being, I like the idea of having Brolin in the third "Men in Black." No deals have been set, but Jones and Will Smith are expected to return as well. Barry Sonnenfeld may direct.

Back in October, we found out Etan Cohen was hired to write the script. His credits include "Tropic Thunder." Brolin, who starred in "Milk," will soon be seen in "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" and "Jonah Hex."
