A Successful Sequel
Riding on the success of the 2012 iteration, Columbia Pictures released ’22 Jump Street’ in 2014. This sequel managed to repeat the triumph, earning both rave reviews and fiscal success. However, despite the franchise’s popularity, no further sequels got announced, leaving fans in limbo.

He posted a photo of a paper reading ’23 Jump Street: Men in Black 4′ and captioned it with an optimistic “still a long shot, but nothing is impossible.” This created a frenzied reaction among fans, inciting dreams of an epic crossover between the ‘Men in Black’ and ’21 Jump Street’ franchises.
