Fox Announces Independence Day Sequel Release Date
Jun 26, 2013

Exactly 19 years after Independence Day's release, the alien-invasion drama is getting a sequel, 20th Century Fox has announced. Independence Day 2 is slated to hit theatres on July 3, 2015.
Will Smith has yet to confirm his involvement in the sequel, but his co-star Bill Pullman says there are plans for either scenario. "The Will Smith part of it may be ongoing, but there are strategies for both," Pullman told Crave Online earlier this year.
"I like what I have to do in both of them. I'm not in an old-age home in a wheelchair being wheeled out for one more moment. It's a very interesting conception of what happens to Whitmore between then and when it picks back up."
Original director Roland Emmerich is set to return to the project. The original film has grossed more than $817 million worldwide.
