Director Roland Emmerich has announced that Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation) has signed on to reprise his role as scientist Dr. Brackish Okun in Independence Day 2. Hopefully he's still sporting that epic hairdo. Joey King (Oz the Great and Powerful) has also joined the cast of the film, but there are no details on her character.

Spiner seemed to have a fun time playing the eccentric over-the-top character whose attempt at an alien autopsy didn't go very well.

The two actors join Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth, Charlotte Gainbourg, and Jassie Usher who will play a major role in the story as the son of Will Smith’s character from the first film, Steven Hiller. Smith is not coming back for the sequel, but I do hope they can at least get Bill Pullman on board.

The sci-fi adventure movie is set for release on June 24th, 2016, which is almost exactly 20 years after the first Independence Day was released in theaters on July 3rd, 1996.
