Making a habit out of appearing in movies adapted from comic books, Famke Janssen has agreed to appear in Men In Black 2 as the "villainess bombshell, Serleena."

Janssen joins Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones who will reprise their roles as Agent J and Agent K, respectively. Newcomers Rosario Dawson and Johnny Knoxville have also been confirmed for the highly anticipated sequel that is scheduled to begin filming in June.

Very few details have escaped concerning the plot, but it has been known for awhile that Jay needs help with his latest case from Kay and that he restores Kay's memory and brings him back into the fold. Dawson has been rumored to play a love interest for Jay, so it appears that Linda Fiorentino is out of the sequel.
