Well we all had our fun watching the White House get blown up in the original, so why not check out the sequel: Independence Day: Resurgence ? Most of the gang was back (or acknowledged), but it was the new blood who were expected to do the heavy lifting in fighting off those pesky aliens. To whit, the main cast is now: Liam Hemsworth , Jeff Goldblum , Bill Pullman , Jessie T. Usher , and Maika Monroe .
