Will Smith is set to have talks about reprising his role as Captain Steve Hiller in Independence Day 2.
Director Roland Emmerich confirmed the news despite saying just a few months back that he thought the actor would not be involved because of his salary.
“I sometimes say no, Will Smith will not be in it because he didn’t want to do it at first. Now we have a meeting planned, we want to talk about it again. Anything can happen,” the filmmaker told Digital Spy.
Little is known about the film’s plot or cast however Emmerich confirmed that a number of the original film’s characters appear in the script by Dean Devlin and himself.
The sequel is set for a release on July 3, 2015.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
