The star of the original 1996 alien invasion blockbuster, Will Smith (the upcoming Suicide Squad), won’t be returning for the next chapter, but reports have it that Jeff Goldblum (The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Bill Pullman are expected to reprise their roles from the first film. The Wrap has reported that Michael B. Jordan (the upcoming Fantastic Four) is also being courted for major role in the sequel.
