supplement Independence Day: RenaissanceIndependence Day: Resurgence was released 20 years later in 2016, and the film begins with a more technologically advanced Earth that has been awaiting the return of the aliens ever since. Of course, the aliens do not disappoint… although the film is largely disappointing. With the return of many familiar faces, including Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman (but not Will Smith, who was unceremoniously killed off-screen), and the addition of some new faces like Liam Hemsworth and Maika Monroe, the ending of Independence Day: Resurgence leaves us with a lot of excitement for more to come. Unfortunately, thanks to scathing reviews and a disappointing box office, those things have yet to materialize.

But now that Roland Emmerich has revealed he has a story to tell, and with the massive success of his latest disaster film, TornadoesCould Disney be tempted to answer the phone?
