‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Trailer: They’re Coming Back

Surprise! 20th Century Fox has delivered the first full trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence a wee bit earlier than previously planned. The trailer was set to debut in front of Star Wars: The Force Awakens later this week, but Christmas has come early, and our ol’ alien pals are back.

Jeff Goldblum is really the centerpiece of this trailer, which explains that he’s spent his time since the original film using the aliens’ leftover weapons to build better weapons to protect the earth from any future threats — but it’s not enough. The aliens are returning, so it’s time to get the band back together, with Bill Pullman’s former President Whitmore, his daughter and the fighter pilot son of Will Smith’s absentee Captain Daniel Hillard.

Independence Day: Resurgence also stars Joey King, Vivica A. Fox, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg (yeah!), Sela Ward, Brent Spiner and Judd Hirsch, and hits theaters on June 24, 2016.
