How many times does Earth have to fight off those aliens? It looks like we should prepare for yet another round. Roland Emmerich has just teased on the possibility of a sequel to Independence Day: Resurgence. But what can we expect in Independence Day 3?
Emmerich, who directed Resurgence, recently spoke to Cinemablend where he confirmed that he has been doing some research for a third Independence Day film.
"I have an idea for Independence Day 3, which I actually researched, and was actually only done to do the next one. And the next one is a kind of cool idea, and I would like to do that," he revealed.
It sounds like there are already plans being laid out for yet another sequel. However, Emmerich is quick to point out that fans shouldn't get their hopes up right now since he's still unsure whether Independence Day 3 will be greenlighted.
"I don't know. I really haven't even gotten to it," he said. "I had naturally talked with Fox about it, and then when they got bought, I kind of said, 'Well, that's probably [over.]' But I don't know. We'll see, it's kind of like it could happen, it could not happen. Hollywood is like a strange, strange place these days, because I have a feeling Disney would maybe be interested in doing it. They like that kind of franchise movie."
We wouldn't be surprised if Disney considers it since the franchise has some potential. For now, we can rest assured that Emmerich is ready in case Independence Day 3 gets confirmed.
