Will Smith needed some convincing to take on “Men in Black” and, with it, back to back extraterrestrial movies. The Oscar winner revealed during Kevin Hart’s “Heart to Hart” Peacock talk show (via Insider) that he was hesitant to star in the 1997 film alongside Tommy Lee Jones right after “Independence Day.” It was “Men in Black” producer Steven Spielberg who later sealed the deal for Smith. “I kind of understood ‘Men in Black’ a little bit but I didn’t want to make ‘Men in Black,'” Smith said.
