The upcoming "
Independence Day" sequel is getting a dose of girl power in the White House: Actress
Sela Ward has been tapped to
play the president of the United States in "
Independence Day 2."
Ward -- last seen on the big screen in "Gone Girl" -- will fill in for
Bill Pullman, who played scene-stealing President Thomas Whitmore in the 1996 original flick. Pullman will return as the retired Whitmore for the follow-up, directed once again by
Roland Emmerich.
In addition to Ward, fellow fresh faces joining the cast include "Hunger Games" star
Liam Hemsworth (playing Whitmore's son-in-law), Jessie Usher (playing a grown-up version of Will Smith's stepson from the first flick), Charlotte Gainsbourg ("Nymphomaniac"), and Joey King ("Wish I Was Here"). Returnees from the original include
Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, and
Vivica A. Fox.
We can't wait to see Ward take her place in the Oval Office. Here's hoping she can deliver an equally-epic speech
like Pullman's from the first flick -- and maybe take flight in a fighter jet of her own. We can dream, right?
"Independence Day 2" -- renamed from "ID Forever" -- is due in theaters in June 24, 2016.
