Independence Day sequel wants Liam Hemsworth, the Australian Will Smith
Back in 2013, it was revealed that director Roland Emmerich had two possible scripts for his upcoming Independence Day sequel: one with Will Smith reprising his role as Captain Steve Cigarguy, and an alternate where some other envoy would welcome the aliens back to Earth, this time with even more pronounced sarcasm. And with Smith decidedly out, it seems Emmerich has moved right along to replacing him with Liam Hemsworth, long known as “The Australian Will Smith.”
