Why Will Smith will cry watching 'Independence Day: Resurgence'London, Jan 6(AZINS) Actor Will Smith is upset that his iconic Independence Day character dies in the film's sequel and said he'll be taking a handkerchief to the screening.

The Men in Black star was unable to reprise his role in Independence Day: Resurgence and said he was saddened when he learned Colonel Steven Hiller's fate in the trailer, which suggests he died while testing a new alien hybrid fighter.

"I was working on Suicide Squad during that time. (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," he said.
