In an interview with Yahoo, Smith spoke about finding out Hiller was killed off in Independence Day: Resurgence. The 47-year-old rapper formerly known as The Fresh Prince revealed it will be hard for him to watch the upcoming summer release.

“I was working on Suicide Squad during that time,” said Smith about the filming of ID4 2. “[Independence Day director] Roland [Emmerich] and I had talked about it. The trailer looks really cool. I’m going to be sitting around with tears in my eyes when that one comes out… It was terrible when I found out my character died.”
