They were last seen in their dapper black suits and trademark sunglasses nearly ten years ago.

But now, the Men in Black are back to control more unruly aliens, with a new teaser trailer showing Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as agents K and J for the forthcoming third instalment of the hit franchise.

And initially, after the decade long absence, it seems nothing has changed too much, with the intrepid pair still spending their days monitoring alien activity in New York City.

Men in suits: Will Smith returns as Agent J, while Tommy Lee Jones reprises his role as Agent K in a new teaser trailer for Men in Black 3, to be released in cinemas next year

The trailer, released by Sony, show the agents back to their usual tricks of putting on sunglasses while using a 'neutraliser' to erase the memories of those who have come across extra terrestrials.

The clip shows Smith brandishing one at a graffiti artist after seeing an alien inside a wall drawing.

The plot then seems to revolve around the mystery of secretive agent K who tells the irritated Smith that 'There's things out there you don't need to know about.'

Men are back: The partners in law and alien order are both seen putting on their trademark sunglasses

Jones is shown on the phone promising someone 'the secrets of the universe,' while Smith attempts to access a computer file, but is perplexed when access is denied.

After shots of Agent K examining a large silver alien weapon, Smith meets Agent O, played by Emma Thompson, who mysteriously informs him that 'Agent K has been dead for 40 years.'

Cue Smith having to travel back in time to put things right, which involves him him using a 'time jump' control and leaping off the Chrysler Building.

He arrives in the past where he encounters none other than actor Josh Brolin as the young and serious Agent K.

Alice Eve also stars in the 'back in time' portion as the young Thompson.

The official synopsis for the film continues that 'Secrets that will reveal themselves as J teams up with the young Agent K (Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.'

Despite the action packed nature of the trailer, production on the blockbuster has not been without its problems, according to sources.

The budget of the movie is reported by TheWrap.com to have blown up to more than $215 million dollars, more than twice the budget of Men In Black II.

There were also production delays, with the film supposed to begin shooting last October, but ending up being postponed until March.

Leap of faith: Smith's character is seen atop New York's Chrysler building where he is told to jump in order to go to the past

Then there was the unwanted publicity over the size of Smith's trailer, which stretched beyond the size of a city bus at 53 ft and which the New York Post deemed 'starship-sized.'

The newspaper added that: 'The monstrosity was choking business revenues and filling the streets with exhaust fumes...Now the I Am Legend actor will have to trek to the trailer to get his make-up done, confer with his personal writers and lounge in his marble-floored, 100-inch-screen film room – or walk less than a mile to his own $25,000-a-month Bond Street apartment.'

Where am I? Smith is bleary eyed as he finds himself back in the past

How do you know my name? Josh Brolin stars as the young Agent K who encounters J when he travels back in time

The delay was also said to be due to the lack of a movie-ready script, with it changing hands between different writers several times, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Back in February, a month before the movie commenced filming, Tommy Lee Jones even admitted he wasn't sure what the story was.

'There are vast pieces of the script yet unwritten,' he revealed to website Vulture.

Men in Black III will be released in the U.S. on May 25 next year.

Third time's the charm: The film will be released in may next year after a ten year absence for the franchise

Will Smith has denied reports his marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith is over.

The 49-year-old Men In Black star released a statement to the press via his publicist after a report in America's In Touch Weekly magazine claimed the pair had separated.

It read: 'Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumours circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact.'

The comment came several hours after Jada denied having affair with her Hawthorne co-star, Marc Anthony.

'We are still together': Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, pictured here in Hawaii last month, have denied split rumours

The 39-year-old addressed industry whispers of a liaison with Jennifer Lopez's ex husband, who joined her TV show as a love interest last year.

'All the rumours regarding Marc Anthony and Jada are false. Completely untrue,' Jada's spokesperson, Karynne Tencer, said. 'As for [the reports of a split between] Will and Jada, I'm not commenting on their personal life.'

A representative for Anthony also addressed the rumours, saying: 'We unequivocally deny this. Enough is enough. There are families involved, children involved, friendships involved. This is NOT true.'

Co-stars: Marc Anthony joined the cast of Jada's TV show Hawthorne last year

The Latin star, 42, split from Lopez last month after seven years. They are parents to twins Emme and Max, 3.

In Hawthorne, Jada plays widowed chief nursing officer Christina, who juggles the demands of her career with bringing up a teenage daughter. She is also an executive producer the show.

Anthony was initially introduced as a guest star playing police detective Nick Renata, but is now a series regular. He also serves as the show's executive music producer.

Hitting back at gossip: Both Jada and Marc Anthony, who split from Jennifer Lopez last month, have denied a liaison

Will's son was the first to defend the Hollywood power couple, who married in 1997.

'Divorce just can't be an option. And I think that's the problem with L.A. - there are so many options. A huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options.'

- Will Smith in 2008

Trey Smith, 18, who is the actor's child from his first marriage, tweeted today: 'Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE .. NOT TRUE AT ALL !!'

He later added: #Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split ! False information ..its not true RETWEET!!!'

The pair, who earned £20 million between them last year alone, have two children together - Jaden, 13, and Willow, ten.

Will, 40, has been divorced before. He split from Trey's mother - former fashion design student Sheree Zampino in 1995 - after three years together.

Will and Jada first met in 1990 when she auditioned for the his girlfriend on his hit TV show, The Fresh Prince.

She was rejected for the part because she was considered too short.

Twitter talk: Will's son Trey denied reports of a separation today

Jada was a source of comfort for Will after his first marriage ended and in 1997, they wed in a lavish ceremony at a mansion near her hometown of Baltimore in front 100 friends and family.

She was two months' pregnant with their son at the time.

The couple, who recently went on a family holiday in Hawaii, were last seen in public together on the set of US daytime show The Talk.

Will last week made a surprise appearance on the show as Jada gave an interview, and they shared a public kiss.

And they certainly showed no signs of trouble during their interview with Architectural Digest magazine only weeks ago, in which they opened the doors of their luxury Malibu home and happily posed for an intimate family photo shoot.

When describing the layout of the 25,000sq ft house, Will gushed that it had been designed with no 'dead ends… to create an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love'.

Jada also told the magazine: 'We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land.'

She continued: 'Whatever it becomes, the craftsmanship will always represent our union and the love of our family.'

Last year, Jada spoke about the secrets to her long marriage and insisted they were a perfect match.

'We always have people that we’re attracted to that we talk about,' she told WJLB in Detroit. 'That don’t stop just because your married. Somebody’s always gonna catch your eye. That’s real.

'Somebody’s gonna always be prettier than me, somebody’s always gonna be more in awe of him than me, and he gonna be like [in Will’s voice] "Yo she really likes me". But as far as somebody being right for us... is there somebody right for a nice night? Maybe. But somebody that can sustain our life and sustain what we’ve built together, absolutely not!'

Back in 2008, Will opened up about his marriage during a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and at the time, said 'divorce is not an option.'

'What I found is divorce just can't be an option,' he said.

'It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. - there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options.'

Will is one of the biggest film stars in Hollywood, with his blockbuster hits including Independence Day, I, Robot, Hitch, I Am Legend, The Pursuit of Happyness and I Am Legend.

He has also had a string of music hits including the 1998 track Just The Two Of Us, which he dedicated to his first son Trey. The lyrics included: 'It didn't work out with me and your mom/But yo, push come to shove/You was conceived in love.'

Jada, who enjoyed success with her acting career early on, recently spoke of her decision to sacrifice her singing aspirations for the sake of her family.

In an interview with the August issue of Redbook magazine she claimed she even turned down a chance to perform with Guns & Roses to support her children's budding careers.

'It was excruciating, completely excruciating,' Jada said of her decision.

'When Jaden was auditioning for The Pursuit of Happyness, my band had just gotten an offer to open for Guns N’ Roses in Europe.'

'For me, that was unbelievable. But the choice was: I could be a rock star, or I could be on the set with my son to make sure he was healthy and happy. We all know how that story ended!'

Jada admitted she would rather be performing but she knows that her duty is to her children.

'I had to make choices. Believe me, I would still be on the road with my band, Wicked Wisdom, and making as many movies as I can a year, and doing all sorts of other things if I didn't have the responsibility of a family.'

'But I have children with their own talents and dreams, and I know I have to be standing next to them for that journey.'

Jaden this year become the highest paid child star in Hollywood - earning a staggering £2m from his role in The Karate Kid, which Jada produced.

Willow also enjoyed phenomenal international success with her debut single Whip My Hair last year and supported Justin Bieber on his UK tour.

Jada recently hit back at critics who branded her a pushy parent, insisting she was simply allowing her children to pursue their dreams.

‘Our children are allowed to stay in the paradigm of being a child,’ she said.

‘They don’t have to take care of their families: become the breadwinners, become the complete emotional, physical and financial focus that happens to many child stars.'

Will has been busy filming the third instalment of his hit franchise, Men In Black.
