The aliens are returning. The new trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence was released this past Sunday and so far suggests (with Mixed review) an action-packed sequel to the 1996 hit.
Set twenty years after the events of the War of 1996 (yes that would make it 2016), the humans of Earth have united in peace and used the Alien technology to enhance their galatic defences for a day if the aliens ever return.
In 2016, they do.
Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox, and Judd Hirsch all recapitulate their roles from the first blockbuster. Movie-goers also will see new faces, together with Liam Hemsworth, Maika Monroe and Joey King.
“Independence Day: Resurgence” shows in theaters on June 24.
