Will Smith may not be returning for INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 but Vivica Fox is.
Vivica A. Fox will reprise the role of Jasmine Dubrow from the 1996 original. She’s the second returning cast member after Jeff Goldblum. Fox’s Jasmine was the exotic dancer girlfriend (later wife) to Will Smith‘s Steven Dubrow. She was also the mother of Dylan Dubrow, played by Ross Bagley in the original and Jessie Usher in the upcoming sequel.
Fox joins a cast that includes Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher and Charlotte Gainsbourg. It is believed that Bill Pullman will be returning in some capacity as well, but the actor’s involvement has not yet been confirmed.
Independence Day 2 is looking to begin production in May with a script most recently rewritten by Carter Blanchard (best known for the short-lived 2009 series “G vs E”). Previous drafts were done by Emmerich and Dean Devlin, and then by James Vanderbilt.
The original Independence Day opened on July 3, 1996 and earned an impressive $817.4 million worldwide. Emmerich is also set to produce the sequel alongside Devlin and Harald Kloser.
Independence Day 2 is on slotted for June 24, 2016, 20 years almost to the day after the original Independence Day hit theaters.
