Mae Whitman will not return to reprise her role as the president's daughter in "Independence Day 2" as she has been replaced by Maika Monroe.

Monroe has beaten the likes of Lucy Boynton, Merritt Patterson, Brittany Robertson, and Gabriella Wilde for the part, reported Aceshowbiz.
The replacement has met with flak from fans, who took to Twitter to express their disappointment. "Why did you recast Mae Whitman? Like really?" said one.
Among the angry fans was Anna Kendrick who also didn't agree with the replacement. She tweeted, "@maebirdwing is talented as hell, and just proved she can carry a film."
It is previously reported that Will Smith wouldn't return to the sequel either. Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, and Bill Pullman, meanwhile, will reprise the roles they originated in the 1996 "Independence Day".
Dean Devlin, Emmerich and Harald Kloser produce the movie while James A Woods and Nicolas Wright wrote the most recent draft. The sequel currently titled "ID Forever Part 1" will hit U.S. Theatres on June 24, 2016.
