Director Roland Emmerich said in June that Will Smith won't be in the sequel. "Will Smith cannot come back because he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name," Emmerich told the New York Daily News. "It would be too much. We have maybe half of the people that you would know from the first film, and the other half people who are new."

The initial plan to target the queen at the centre of the ship is revealed to be a trap - some pilots are killed, some are trapped onboard. The probe from the start turns out to be from another alien race, containing information about vastly superior knowledge and weaponry they hope humanity can use to destroy the invaders once and for all.
The aliens are determined to obtain the probe, as it could potentially lead to their downfall. A trap is set, using a transmitter to replicate the probe's radio signature, lure the queen's ship into the desert, surround it with shields, then detonate powerful bombs to kill her, using the shields to contain the blast so as to avoid collateral damage. The former President (Bill Pullman) volunteers to fly the suicide mission to deliver the bombs.
The trap technically succeeds, however the queen has not been killed, and emerges from the wreckage in a powerful bio-suit, setting after the real location of the probe, using a swarm of alien ships around her for protection. However, pilots from the earlier failed attack are in two of the ships, and manage to trigger their fusion drives to escape the alien control, then turning their weapons on the queen, finally defeating her. With the queen dead, the giant alien ship shuts off its core drill and leaves earth. The human survivors realise that with the advanced technology they've been given by the probe, they might be able to take the fight to the aliens for once.

The alien ship the Earth shot down at the beginning of the movie was not the original race of aliens, but another alien race coming to warn Earth of a 2nd impending attack and to offer to evacuate humanity to a refugee planet.
Humans rescue the friendly alien and use a decoy version of it to lure the queen alien of the new invasion fleet out of her ship and kill her. The friendly alien promises to teach Earth its advanced technology so they can lead the other planets targeted for invasion an intergalactic war against the invasive alien species.
