Well, this certainly puts a new spin on the whole "the humans are dead" thing.

Deadline reports that Flight of the Conchords star Jemaine Clement has landed the role of the villainous Yaz in Men in Black III, the developing third installment in the alien-centric comedy franchise from director Barry Sonnenfeld. Will Smith returns as Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K, with Josh Brolin on board as a younger version of K.

Clement was previously rumored for the Men in Black villain, as was Borat and Bruno comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Looks like we know which HBO veteran won that battle.

And now, some words from our new star.
