Jeff Goldblum confirms Independence Day 2 return

Good news and bad news for fans of classic Jeff Goldblum pictures, with the star confirming he is set for a return in Independence Day 2 , but hasn't been contacted regarding Jurassic World .

"They've talked to me about it," says Goldblum, regarding ID2 , "and I've talked to them about it and they're excited and I'm anxious and eager to see - I haven't read anything. I think they're trying to put it together."

Good news there then, but less so on the Jurassic World front, for anyone hoping that Dr. Ian Malcolm was going to make another appearance.

"They haven't called me for it," confirms Goldblum. "Nobody asked me, but I was perfectly satisfied with the two that I did. I'm still satisfied with that and I'll be the first in line to see anything else."

We'll look forward to seeing Goldblum lock horns with the extra-terrestrial invaders once more, when Independence Day 2 opens in the UK on 1 July 2016.
