It looks like Will Smith might get a second chance to whip ET’s ass after all.<\/p>\n

Despite word from Roland Emmerich last June<\/a> that Will Smith would not be returning for Independence Day 2<\/strong>, the director told Digital Spy<\/a> today that Smith is in talks over a possible appearance in the sequel to the film that launched his career into the stratosphere. We can speculate on Smith’s change of heart, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the recent box office disappointment of this summer’s After Earth<\/strong> had something to do with it.<\/p>\n

Also in the interview, Emmerich casts doubt on studio Twentieth Century Fox’s announced release window of 2015 for Independence Day 2<\/strong>, saying that it would more than likely come out the following year. And honestly, given how crowded 2015 is looking, that might not be such a bad thing.<\/p>\n

You can view the video interview below for all of what Emmerich had to say about the sequel, as well as a follow up to another of his 1990s science-fiction films, Stargate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
