NOW: This Smith guy has really gone places. Since "Independence Day" launched him to stardom, Smith has become one of the biggest movie stars in the world. While he won't be returning for "Resurgence," you'll be able to see him in this summer's "Suicide Squad."
Smith turned down working on the film.
When asked about why Smith wouldn't be returning for the sequel, director Roland Emmerich says the star is "too expensive."
"Will Smith can not come back because he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name," Emmerich told The New York Daily News in 2013. "It would be too much."
