Jemaine Clement Playing Villain in 'Men in Black 3'

Heat Vision reports “Flight of the Conchords” star Jemaine Clement is in final negotiations to play one of the villains in Columbia’s “Men in Black 3.”

Joining Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin in the Barry Sonnenfeld-directed sequel, scheduled to hit 3D and 2D theaters on May 25, 2012.

Most of the action is taking place in 1969, with Josh Brolin playing a young Tommy Lee Jones, who will bookend the movie.

Most of the new casting will be the villains, whose identities, look and super-abilities are being kept under lock and key. It is known that Clement is playing a villain named Boris, who is described as being charmy and creepy at the same time. (The name Yaz was used as a filler name, and since the script is still being polished, there is a chance the name may change again.)

I've never actually heard of Clement before, so I can't even pretend I'm surprised here, or even excited at this news. The fact that we're even getting a sequel to MIB ten years later is the only shocking thing about this production.
