Bill, who played President Thomas J. Whitmore in the movie and actually gave the speech in the clip, reacted with a statement on Sunday (May 17).

“My voice belongs to no one but me, and I’m not running for president — this year,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

It is not yet known why President Trump decided to make the altered video amid the pandemic. Over 89,000 people have died to date in the United States.

Will Smith was the star of the smash hit movie Independence Day back in 1996 and it cemented his status as a box office star, so why isn’t he in the sequel?

The 47-year-old actor says that he decided not to star in Independence Day: Resurgence as it didn’t fit into his schedule.

“It was one of those things, I had a couple of films lined up. I had Concussion and Suicide Squad and so it was a decision, you know, timing wise, between Independence Day and Suicide Squad,” Will told BBC Radio 1 Xtra.

The movie’s director Roland Emmerich initially said that Will was too expensive for the project, but then said the actor opted out of being in the film.

“In the very beginning, I wanted to work with him and he was excited to be in it but then after a while he was tired of sequels, and he did another science fiction film, which was his father-son story, so he opted out,” Roland told Cinema Blend.

Later, Roland went into more detail on the process of writing the screenplay and the characters that would be included.

“The first script included Will Smith, it was a totally different story. There was no new generation or anything, it was a father/son story, and when that didn’t work I said ‘let’s explore other possibilities,’” he told HeyUGuys. “Maybe two years ago it fully hit me because I hired two young writers and they kind of said this has to be a hand-off to a younger generation and that’s what I thought was the real trick to make this work.”

While Will did not film anything new for the movie, he is seen in the sequel through photographs!

Here’s a synopsis of the film: Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Maika Monroe, and more star in the movie, set to be released on June 24.

Will Smith has broken his silence regarding the upcoming movie Independence Day: Resurgence.

The 47-year-old actor, who won’t be appearing in the sequel, reveals how he first reacted when he heard his character Steve Hiller – SPOILER ALERT! – had died.

“I was working on Suicide Squad during that time,” Will told Yahoo. “[Independence Day director] Roland [Emmerich] and I had talked about it. The trailer looks really cool. I’m going to be sitting around with tears in my eyes when that one comes out…It was terrible when I found out my character died.”
