Veteran Singaporean actor Chin Han will reunite with his "2012" director Roland Emmerich for the sequel to "Independence Day." According to Variety, he'll play the leader of the Chinese Space Squadron.

Han is best known to American audiences for his film roles in "The Dark Knight" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and for his appearances on television series like "Arrow," "Fringe" and "Last Resort."

Fox, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch and Brent Spiner, as well as franchise newcomers Jessie Usher, Liam Hemsworth, William Fichtner, Sela Ward, Maika Monroe, Joey King, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Travis Tope, DeObia Oparei and Garrett Wareing.
