Independence Day sequel...
Will Smith isn't in it. And despite people posting on youtube and **** saying he wanted both his kids in it he opted out in 2014 after the failure of 'After Earth' and because he wasn't keen on another father/son film (which was what the director Roland Emmerich had in mind initially). He also costs 20 millions dollars per film so that cost also meant they couldn't really afford him as well. Here's a quote from the Emmerich about Will Smith being in the film.
"In the very beginning, I wanted to work with him and he was excited to be in it but then after a while he was tired of sequels, and he did another science fiction film, which was his father-son story, so he opted out."
