William Fichtner To Act In Independence Day 2

The acknowledged Hollywood A-lister William Fichtner is a sight for sore eyes in any movie, especially in a movie that’s already being called a blockbuster even while still in preproduction. Independence Day 2 will surely be a movie worth seeing, not only because it’s a revival of a cult classic but also because of its star-studded cast. And with Fichtner being on board, the universe is the limit for Roland Emmerich’s upcoming feature film sensation.

Fichtner’s appearance in the movie was announced by Emmerich himself via Twitter.

Although the famed producer’s exciting announcement didn’t involve any character details, some sources reveal that Fichtner’s role will definitely be worthy of his talent.

Allegedly, the Hollywood actor will be playing a high-ranking general, not just in the sequel but also in two more movies in the Independence Day universe.

William Fichtner joined the star-studded cast made of some truly huge names in the acting world, many of which are reprising their roles, such as Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner and Judd Hirsch. Apart from the Independence Day alums, some fresh-faced young Hollywood stars are also involved with the project, such as Maika Monroe, Sela Ward, Liam Hemsworth, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Travis Tope and Joey King.
