With the new Independence Day Resurgence trailer dropping today, many are wondering what happened to Will SMith’s character from the first movie, Steve Hiller. We heard that they wrote two versions of the ID4 2 script which included a version with Will Smith, and a version without him. Shortly after the trailer was dropped, a new viral website was launched giving us information on what has happened in the last 20 years since the War of 1996. Sadly, Col. Steve Hiller was killed during an alien technology weapons malfunction. There you have it. Go check out the site. It’s pretty.
