The 1996 disaster film Independence Day made Smith a full-blown star

I mean, duh. Say what you want about Will Smith but you can't replace him with a expressionless cardboard cutout like Liam and expect the same results.

ONTD, sequels that should have NEVER happened?

Mean Girls 2

Bring it on sequels after the 3rd one - #3 is iconically bad while #2 was a decent story that was just killed by association - it was nothing like the first and with a different name would've had a better chance of being appreciated IMO

[jigglemypuff]

There was a Mean Girls 2????

[yurasama_love]

It was direct to video

[pikapika217]

this is the correct answer

[kidviciousdonna]

That’s surprisingly honest for him to admit

[emptyobsidian]

He just wanted to make a movie exactly like the first? Like, was it originally planned as a literal remake and then turned into a sequel?

[insomniachobs]

Yeah, I don’t understand how he’s drawing that distinction. It’d still be a sequel

[frelling_tralk]

Yeah I don’t really get what he’s trying to say there, because just wanting to do another movie exactly like the first doesn’t sound all that great either, just trying to capture former glories and bringing nothing new to the table is the exact reason given for why most revivals and reboots are pointless?

It's a shame that Suicide Squad kinda bad in terms of plot because I thought Will was pretty good in it.

I like Margot as actress but I'm not totally on board with her Harley so I am hoping Birds of Prey change my opinion 🤞🏼
