Some hefty details on Independence Day 2's plot synopsis and character information has potentially leaked online! Not to much surprise, the film will be set roughly 20 years after the events of the first movie, but with many of the young characters from the first film now grown up to face a second wave of Alien invaders. Film Divider managed to score these potential facts and we've highlighted them below for you. The points don't really risk spoiling any aspect of the film's plot secrets, so feel free to read on without worry.
Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox and Judd Hirsch will be returning to reprise their roles from the original movie
