Fresh Images For Independence Day: Resurgence

 

Fox’s media blowout for all things Independence Day: Resurgence continues with a host of new images arriving via Empire. Nipping at the heels of today’s epic, five-minute trailer these new stills place a laser focus on the reinvigorated alien threat, who descend on Earth a full two decades after the War of ’96 to enact their revenge.

Indeed, it’s an ancient alien ship that acts as the catalyst to Roland Emmerich’s barnstorming showdown, beaming a distress signal into the far reaches of space and essentially rallying the extra-terrestrial reinforcements. If you’re wanting to get a fairly sizeable taste of the CG-laden carnage that awaits, that aforementioned extended trailer offers up all the story details you’ll need before the sequel graces theaters in little over a month’s time. Heck, it even features a rather meta quip from Jeff Goldblum’s returning David Levinson about the alien’s tendency to destroy international landmarks.

Pushing back against extinction once more is Bill Pullman who stars opposite Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe and Sela Ward.
Independence Day: Resurgence touches down in theaters on June 24.
