So you’ve heard of the Men In Black: International, have you? And you think you’ve got what it takes to be a part of the best-kept secret in the Universe? That you could join Earth’s best, last, and only line of defence?

Slow down there, rookie. Being part of the MIB takes more than guts and filling out a few forms.

First up, the MIB isn’t just about fighting to defend earth from the legions of extraterrestrial scumbags who threaten our existence on a daily basis. I mean, to be honest, that’s an extremely important part of it, but there’s more and we’re going to break it down for you.

The Clothes

First, you need to focus on what to wear. They say the clothes make the man, or the woman, or that cute little talking pug guy, and it’s true. You can’t be fighting evil alien forces in a singlet and thongs… you need to make this look good. Black suits, sleek lines, straight ties, and sunglasses even at night. That last one not only looks cool, but will also protect you from the memory-erasing neuralyzers you’ll need to assist in telling civilians the “official story”.

The Weapons

Can’t shoot aliens without guns, and in the MIB you’ll have access to the universe’s deadliest weapons. If it can shoot, blast, explode, disintegrate, defenestrate, or obliterate – you’ll find it within our arsenal. But don’t expect the most lethal weapons to be obvious – sometimes it’s the smallest, or strangest items, that can do the most damage.

The Car

Finally, you’ll need a sweet ride. A classy but powerful car that combines utility and style. During your daily duties, you’ll be taking that gorgeous machine on and off-road. And we mean really off-road… so buckle your seat-belt and hold on.

Interested in taking a look at the real, more grounded, thing? Take a look at the Lexus RC F.

So now that you know what it takes, do you think you’re ready? Ready to no longer be a part of the system? To be above the system, over it, beyond it? Because if so, you need to be at Australian cinemas on June 13, when your Men in Black: International training can begin.

Good luck out there and… watch the skies.
