Will Smith

Will Smith

Roland Emmerich has hinted that we still could be seeing Will Smith in the Independence Day sequel

It was back in 1996 when Smith took on the role of Captain Steven Hiller for the first time, but it looked like he would not be returning for the second film.

Emmerich admitted that there are two versions of the script: one featuring Smith and one without.

Speaking to IndieWire.com about Smith's involvement the director had said: "It's looking good [for that version]."

Jamie Vanderbilt, who wrote White House Down, is on board to pen both the screenplays for the film.

Michael B. Jordan has been linked to the central role in the film as a replacement for Smith.

Stars of the original 1996 film, including Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman, are expected to return to the franchise.

'Independence Day 2' is slated for release in July 2015.
