After the recent announcement that a sequel to 1996's Independence Day was going forward, many wondered how many would return for Roland Emmerich's followup. While actors Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum signed on almost immediately, most were disappointed to hear that the original's main character, Captain Steven Hiller, would not return. This by default meant no Will Smith.
Well calm down DJ Jazzy Jeff. All may not be lost after all.
Emmerich originally sited salary reasons as to why Smith wouldn't be joining in the film. However, "Digital Spy" reports that although Smith was initially hesitant to do second film, Emmerich and Smith now have a meeting scheduled to discuss the project.
Let's face it, After Earth was a disaster and Smith desperately needs a hit. Why not return to the film that helped make you a star?
Independence Day 2 releases July 3rd, 2015.
