Actor will commit to three July 4ths. By Brandon Wolfe William Fichtner has been cast in a leading role in the forthcoming, currently filming Independence Day sequel. Deadline also drops the hint that there might be more Independence Day s yet ahead of us, as Fichtner has also been penciled in for two additional ID4 installments. Though there once existed talk that this project would take the form of back-to-back sequels shot simultaneously, that plan fell by the wayside. Perhaps the story in the hopper for the alien sequel is simply too mothership-sized for a single film to contain, but why Fox has decided to make Independence Day a full-throttle franchise now, rather than in 1999 when that made sense, is anybody's guess. Fichtner most recently appeared in last year's godawful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot (and will return for that film's presumably godawful sequel ). Roland Emmerich is directing the new ID4 .

New Commander in Chief to deliver rousing speeches. By Brandon Wolfe Those of you ID4 fans who were expecting Bill Pullman to have been made President for life had better brace yourselves because there will be a new face in the Oval Office for the sequel. ‘90s relic Sela Ward will play President Lanford in the sequel to ‘90s relic Independence Day . Ward has previously worked with director Roland Emmerich in 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow . Ward will join returning ID4 vets Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and Vivica A.

The First Daughter gets a facelift. By Brandon Wolfe Master of disaster Roland Emmerich has revealed via his Twitter account that It Follows star Maika Monroe has joined the cast of the rapidly assembling Independence Day sequel. Monroe will play the now-grown daughter of Bill Pullman’s President. Though Monroe is rightfully moving quickly up the ladder after her breakout performance in It Follows , the role of the President’s daughter was portrayed by actress Mae Whitman in the original film. Whitman, who remains a very active actress, seen in Arrested Development , Parenthood and, most recently, The Duff , was apparently not given the opportunity to reprise the role, striking up some controversy online about how that may be due to her being less Hollywood-glamorous than Monroe. If that is the case, it is indeed a shame, especially for a sequel that has seemed to take pains to bring back as many original ID4 actors as possible. In related news, Will Smith is still not
