I too would prefer Lethal Weapon in Space over any MiB-esque dynamic.
Glen Powell would be good casting for Hal
I'm probably gonna get ridiculed when I had this in mind so....Jason Sudeikis.
I know this may seem a crazy idea, but we've seen a lot of success over the years with comedic actors playing superheroes (Michael Keaton, Chris Pratt, Paul Rudd).
I'm gonna get tossed outta the room for this one, but whatever, I promise I've given it actual thought, lol. You know who's been looking a bit Hal-like recently that's got me thinking?

Just sayin', he's got surprisingly strong comedic chops that would work well in a "buddy cop" scenario, works best as part of an ensemble, his ego's not so big that he demands to be the star, still has that "leading man" essence, is a current and relevant "name" that wouldn't cost as much as a Tom Cruise, and Hal is different enough a character from Thor that it wouldn't feel like type-casting at all. His time with Marvel is possibly already done, and unlike his other fellow Avengers actors, he seems eager to stay in the franchise game for as long as he can (he's got a few kids to put through college after all, lol).
Yeah, I know we fans hate it when superhero actors double-dip, but I mean, we're the only ones who actually care about that. Hems needs a post-Thor career, and he sure as hell won't find it as any kind of dramatic leading man. Franchises that he doesn't have to carry entirely on his shoulders are his ticket to remaining relevant, imo, and I think he knows it.
