In a shocking turn of events, 20th Century Studios has approved Independence Day 3, bringing back Will Smith as the legendary Captain Steven Hiller. With an action-packed plot that promises to alter the franchise, Independence Day: The Last Signal is the film that will wrap up the epic alien invasion tale.

Set 30 years after the events of Resurgence, the story reveals that humanity has built a fragile alliance with alien refugees seeking to overthrow their oppressive overlords. Hiller, thought to have perished in the second film, returns as part of a secret project that preserved his life using advanced alien technology. This revelation propels him to lead a desperate final mission against an armada larger and deadlier than ever.

The ensemble cast will feature Jeff Goldblum reprising his role as David Levinson and Maika Monroe returning as Patricia Whitmore. Joining them are newcomers John Boyega, portraying a rogue fighter pilot, and Florence Pugh, cast as a rebellious scientist uncovering the alien’s ultimate secret.
