Even though we ’re still a twelvemonth away from the Independence Day sequel , the cast and gang livestreamed a question and response session on the bent . Mostly , they told us what picayune they could about their characters and Jeff Goldblum talked very quickly .
Here ’s the synopsis posted along withe thelivestream :
We always eff they were come back . After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the issue picture show genre , the next heroic chapter deliver global spectacle on an impossible scale . Using recovered alien engineering science , the res publica of Earth have collaborated on an immense United States Department of Defense program to protect the planet . But nothing can fix us for the alien ’ advanced and unprecedented force . Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction .
Director Roland Emmerich say that the events of the fabricated 1996 has create a “ post - world-wide - war ” generation who are unite against a common threat .
Sela Ward , who will play the current president , President Lanford elaborated on how thing have modify :
[ She ’s ] wholly unlike [ from Bill Pullman ’s President Whitmore ] . It ’s a completely different political landscape . She ’s tough , more critical , not afraid to use force , she ’s more aggressive . She ’s a very different creature because it ’s a very different sentence . We ’ve been train for twenty years for the inevitableness of an encroachment . We do n’t make love by whom or when . So there ’s a very different mood in terms of the tenor of the movie . Especially for the chairperson .
We do know that Patricia Whitmore ( played in Resurgence by Maika Monrow , played in the first film by Mae Whitman ) is working for the new United States President in some capacity . They refuse to give away on the nose what Book of Job the one - sentence first daughter has — being told by Emmerich “ not to give it forth ” — but we did find out that she , like her Padre , will be a fighter pilot .
Other bits and bobs we learned was that Jasmine ( Vivica A. Fox ) is no longer a ecdysiast and is working as a hospital administrator and that her son Dylan ( played by Jessie Usher in Resurgence , replacing Ross Bagley ) has grown up being the “ son of the Good Shepherd ” — Will Smith , one of the few non - returning cast member .
Playing a wholly young character is Liam Hemsworth , whose type , Jake Morrison , lost his parents in the attempt in 1996 . Hemsworth gave some item which emphatically made it sound like he ’s playing the malcontent pilot who accidentally finds himself in the center of everything :
He eventually joined the military and ended up in the best of the best of the best of the battler pilot burner . And he made a bad mistake , a big decision , and put someone ’s life history at hazard , and bring the nifty job of drive this Moon Tug , which is basically a forklift on the Moon . Where he gets to move around different pieces on the Moon . Which is not really an exciting job for a battler pilot like himself . He ’s a somewhat gumptious cat , he likes to do exciting things . That ’s not exciting .
The “ Moon Tug ” is one of the spaceships Earth has made by cannibalizing the break apart remains of the exotic invasion from 1996 . Here are a few prescribed photos of the Moon Tug :
In what seems like a alternative base on past nimbus and not much actual shown skill , David Levinson ( Jeff Goldblum ) is in bursting charge of Earth Space Defense , the transnational defense group in charge of world-wide defensive structure . Presumably , that let in the Moon Base put that the proclamation all took place in . Along with the Moon Tug , the set also boast the human - alien fighter , which pretty much looks like a jet plane fighter plane ’s trunk with the annex of the exotic fighter from Independence Day beetle off onto it :
The only thing I cared about was finding out how Brent Spiner ’s character survived getting attacked by one of the aliens , but it looks like that ’s a mystery that I ’ll need to see the movie to find out about . We did regain out that he ’s got an even more hair’s-breadth this time which seems pretty much out of the question .
