Independence Day 2 star Vivica A. Fox confesses to knowing that the sequel would fail without Will Smith, who she calls its 'one true link.'
Vivica A. Fox reveals that she knew Independence Day: Resurgence would fail without the return of Will Smith. The film, a sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day, was directed by Roland Emmerich and tracked the efficacy of Earth's new defense program amid re-emerging alien attacks. Fox, who portrayed Jasmine Dubrow in the original movie, reprised her role in the follow-up, along with Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, and Brent Spiner.
"I really feel we missed out by not bringing Will Smith back. We had most of the original cast, but I think the one true link that was missing to the success of ‘Independence Day 2’ was that Will Smith wasn’t there. I’m going to keep it real — I was at the premiere and I was like ‘Mmm, let’s see how the fans are going to feel about this.’ And sure enough on Twitter, they blew me up."
