Come on guys, it's not like that child actress from Independence Day grew into a talented, bankable young–wait, that was Mae Whitman?! WTF?

Marika Monroe was very good in It Follows, but there's no good reason why Mae Whitman should not reprise her role as POTUS's daughter in ID2

I honestly think they recast Mae Whitman bc they felt like they she wasn't good enough to be romantic interest with Liam Hemsworth,
