11 Jasmine HillerĪnother returning actor, Vivica A. This collective vision understandably triggers a fear that the aliens are mounting an imminent return. He shares a vision with several others that had similar alien contact of a circle with a horizontal line through it. The mental imprint left from his contact with the alien gave him visions, and those visions have gotten more intense. He never quite got over his psychic encounter with the alien in Area 51, and the death of Steven Hiller was more than he could handle, so he withdrew from the spotlight and has lived as a hermit ever since.

Sure, nobody would see an Independence Day sequel without Jeff Goldblum, but Bill Pullman’s Thomas Whitmore is right up there among essential characters. Jake may be the new guy, considering he wasn’t in the first movie, but he’s become friends with just about every survivor from Independence Day, putting him right in the thick of the action. Jake and Patricia grew close to each other, and are dating by the start of Resurgence. In addition to Dylan, Jake also met Patricia Whitmore, another child of a war hero. Captain Hiller was still alive at the time, so it’s possible Jake even had the chance to meet the pilot he saw go toe to toe with the aliens during the War of 1996. Jake worked as a mechanic until he was able to join up with the ESD, where he became friends with Steven Hiller’s stepson, Dylan.

If saving the President and his staff wasn’t enough, Levinson also thought up the plan to disable the alien shields by infecting the mother ship with a computer virus - the only reason the rest of Earth’s forces even had a fighting chance at finishing off the City Destroyers.Īfter the death of Steven Hiller, David accepted a position as the Director of the ESD, where he oversees several major breakthroughs in the use of alien technology.

At the start of the original invasion he was the first one to decrypt the alien signal, realizing it was a coordinated countdown for all the ships to attack. There might not even be a sequel if it wasn’t for David Levinson.
It’s doubtful there would be any interest in a sequel at all if it wasn’t for his involvement - especially with Will Smith’s absence - so it’s good to see him back.
