Reliable Source: Will Sela Ward's female president in 'Independence Day' sequel be the best ever? She doesn't have much competition.

Viewers got the first peek at "Independence Day: Resurgence" on Sunday when the trailer for the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster original was released. The two-minute-plus teaser didn't have the kind of shocking "White House blowing up" moment that the first did -- but it did offer up something almost as explosive: actress Sela Ward playing the president.
