Olympus Has Fallen sequel planned

The cast of Olympus Has Fallen are reprising their roles in a sequel to the terrorist thriller which will be set in the UK.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman have signed up to return for the next film.

A US Secret Service agent (Gerard), the US president (Aaron), and the speaker of the House of Representatives (Morgan) attend the funeral of the British prime minister in the movie, London Has Fallen.

Olympus Has Fallen filmmaker Antoine Fuqua will not direct the sequel but Katrin Benedikt and Creighton Rothenberger are returning to pen the movie's script.

The film was released earlier this year starring Gerard as disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning, who finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack.
