Now that Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen; it looks as if Banning has yet to consider a quiet retirement, with sequel Angel Has Fallen now in the works (via Deadline).
Production is set to start on Angel Has Fallen in the first half of 2017.
Olympus Has Fallen may have taken in $161 million worldwide, with London Has Fallen landing a huge $205 million worldwide, but the franchise will have a hard time playing down the controversy surrounding the last film; having been widely accused of serving as a racist “terrorsploitation” fantasy designed to spread fear after the Paris attacks.
Gerard Butler’s Secret Service agent Mike Banning is maybe the unluckiest Secret Service agent around; charged with keeping safe the American president in a universe where terrorist assassination runs as common as running out of milk in the White House fridge.
