Will Smith Talks Independence Day: Resurgence Death

While we won’t see it in the movie, a viral site has revealed the fate of Will Smith’s character for Independence Day: Resurgence, which turns out that Captain Steven Hiller died back in 2007.

Now Will Smith comments on the death of Hiller with Yahoo:

“I was working on Suicide Squad during that time. [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.”

Will Smith is currently starring in Concussion, and Suicide Squad hits next August 5th.
