According to a report from Deadline, Gerard Butler will be reprising his role as Secret Service agent Mike Banning in Angel Has Fallen, the second sequel to the 2013 film Olympus Has Fallen.
In Olympus Has Fallen, the White House was attacked as ex-Secret Service agent Banning was forced to rescue Aaron Eckhart’s President. Its sequel, London Has Fallen, saw the two of them under attack at a summit of world leaders in the British capital.
Angel Has Fallen will take a slight swerve with the formula as Banning himself is the one targeted by terrorists with ‘Angel’ being the codename for Air Force One. It will again be scripted by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt with a potential early-2017 start date, while a director is yet to been chosen.
