James Bobin, who directed The Muppets, The Muppets Most Wanted, and this year's upcoming Alice in Wonderland sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass, will take on directorial duties instead, according to reports. When the Men in Black-meets- Jump Street idea first surfaced in 2014, Lord and Miller were on board, but they've been forced to give up the director's chair due to a scheduling conflict with Disney's upcoming Han Solo Star Wars spinoff movie. The two also demonstrated their talents with The Lego Movie and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Lord and Miller co-directed the original film, as well as the 2014 sequel, 22 Jump Street, and they were widely credited for making the movies such a success. The two stars will be returning to reprise their roles as Jenko and Schmidt, but the other dynamic duo behind the Jump Street movies - Phil Lord and Chris Miller - will merely be producing. The idea for combining the two franchises was first leaked as part of Sony's devastating hack in 2014, and now several industry publications have confirmed that the studio is moving ahead with the project. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill buddy movie 23 Jump Street will, in fact, be a crossover film with Men in Black.
