The teaser for Independence Day 3: New Beginning showcases the return of Will Smith as Captain Steven Hiller, leading a new generation of Earth’s defenders. The trailer starts with peaceful scenes of Earth after the events of Independence Day: Resurgence, but quickly shifts to the dark return of an even stronger alien menace. Jeff Goldblum’s character, David Levinson, warns, “We thought we had defeated them. We thought wrong,” as massive alien ships descend, triggering worldwide chaos.
Will Smith’s return is a highlight, with his character taking charge of upgraded fighter jets in a desperate battle against the new alien threat. The teaser also introduces a new generation of characters, including Hiller’s son, Dylan Dubrow-Hiller, played by Jessie T. Usher, who now leads the Earth Space Defense alongside Liam Hemsworth’s character. The visuals promise high-octane action, space battles, and advanced alien technology, setting the stage for a bigger intergalactic conflict.
