Gerard Butler may not be a spring chicken anymore, and his character wrapped up Angel Has Fallen as the new Director of the Secret Service, but that doesn’t mean he’s safe in a franchise where even (and especially) the most powerful world leaders constantly find themselves dodging bullets. As such, it looks like the series is nowhere near done. In a 2019 interview with Deadline, series producer Alan Siegel revealed that his company is gunning for not just one, or even two, but three upcoming entries to the Fallen franchise.
That’s not all they’re planning, either: They’re looking into possibilities to sell the Fallen intellectual property to other countries so they can make Angel Has Fallens of their own, essentially franchising the franchise. “If we do it in India, the star of that could come into Angel Has Fallen 4,” Siegel said, by way of example. “It could be a symbiotic relationship.”
If this ploy is successful, it’s easy to imagine a whole slew of Fallen properties popping up all over the world, the stars of which could appear in the main Hollywood franchise, giving those entries a leg up in those increasingly important international markets. So, maybe one day there will be a Fallen movie where all the Mike Bannings of their own mini-franchises join together in Earth Has Fallen to save the entire world from alien terrorists. Yes, we think we just described an all-Gerard Butler version of The Avengers, and no, we can’t wait to see it.
