Will Smith
Independence Day is probably one of Will Smith's best films. Even with that being said, the actor did not return for Independence Day: Resurgence in 2016. This was actually due to scheduling conflicts. "It was one of those things," he said. "I had a couple of films lined up, I had Concussion and Suicide Squad, and so it was a decision, timing-wise, between Independence Day and Suicide Squad." His character, albeit the main one, was killed off-screen.
