GERARD BUTLER is set to star in Millennium Films’ “Angel Has Fallen,” a threequel following the action flicks “Olympus Has Fallen” and “London Has Fallen.”

    Butler will reprise his role as agent Mike Banning who has kept American presidents safe, but this time, he’s the attackers’ target. Among those also at risk is the commander-in-chief, whose official plane Air Force One is code-named Angel.

    Butler will produce with Alan Siegel, Mark Gill, John Thompson and Matt O’Toole. Executive producers are Avi Lerner, Trevor Short and Christine Otal. Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt, who created the franchise, will write the script. No director has been set.

    The threequel follows Antoine Fuqua’s 2013 film “Olympus Has Fallen,” which earned US$161 million worldwide. Babak Najafi’s “London Has Fallen,” released earlier this year, grossed US$195 million globally.(SD-Agencies)
