Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler is on board for a sequel to action film Olympus Has Fallen.

Butler took on the role of Mike Banning in the film earlier this year where the White House came under a terrorist attack.

Butler will be back as Banning in the sequel, which is set to be called London Has Fallen.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman are also returning as the US President and the speaker of the US House of Representatives.

While there are some familiar faces returning, Antoine Fuqua will not be in the director's chair and the hunt for his replacement is under way.

However, Katrin Benedikt and Creighton Rothenberger will be back to pen the screenplay. There is no word yet when production will begin or what the film's expected release date is.

We haven't seen Butler on the big screen since the success of Olympus Has Fallen, but he has lent his voice to How To Train Your Dragon 2.

He is also set to star in new action/adventure film Gods of Egypt with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Geoffrey Rush.
