Jonah Hill is admittedly not a fan of sci-fi, but the actor had a crazy idea for 23 Jump Street — have Jenko and Schmidt, played by Hill and Channing Tatum respectively, meet up with the Men in Black.

But it doesn’t look like the film is happening any time soon.

“I had the idea,” Hill tells Postmedia Network. “But I doubt that movie will get made.”

The rumour was revealed in the Sony hack last year, and there was talk that production would start as early as this fall with James Bobin (Alice Through the Looking Glass) in the director’s chair.

Will Smith’s Agent Jay and Tommy Lee Jones’ Agent Kay would be replaced by “younger” actors.

“It’s too complicated,” Hill concedes. “They’re trying to make all the deals, but it’s kind of impossible with all the Men in Black stuff. The Jump Street films were so fun to make and the whole joke of them was they were making fun of remakes and sequels and reboots and then now it’s become a giant sequel, reboot. It’s almost become what we were making fun of and it’s hard to maintain that joke when it’s so high stakes.”

Still, Hill, who co-wrote both Jump Street films and had the idea for this week's Sausage Party, hopes Jenko and Schmidt return for a third instalment.

“I love Channing and I love (directors) Phil Lord and Chris Miller and I love making those movies — they’re a lot of fun. So I hope it works out.”

Hill stars in War Dogs, opening Aug. 19.
