Another familiar face is returning to the Independence Day franchise as Roland Emmerich took to Twitter to announce that Vivica A. Fox is reprising her role as Jasmine Dubrow, the stripper who marries Will Smith’s character of Capt. Steven Hiller.
She joins the previously announced Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and a returning Jeff Goldblum as David Levinson.
Director Roland Emmerich will return to helm the film. Independence Day 2 is set for release on June 24, 2016 — almost exactly 20 years from when the first film hit theaters on July 3, 1996. Dean Devlin, Emmerich and Harald Kloser are producing. James A. Woods and Nicolas Wright wrote the most recent draft.
