Good news for “Independence Day” fans, with director Roland Emmerich confirming two more stars of the original film who’ll be returning for the sequel. Via his Twitter, Emmerich says 1996 POTUS Bill Pullman is definitely back, as is Judd Hirsch, who’ll reprise his role as Julius Levinson (father of Jeff Goldblum’s character in the first).
Pullman and Hirsch are just two original “ID4” stars that are reprising their roles for the 2016 sequel; also back are Goldblum, Vivica A.Fox, and Brent Spiner. Also starring are Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Travis Tope, and Joey King.
