UPDATED: Angel Has Fallen Release Date

UPDATED: Lionsgate will release Angel Has Fallen, the third in the series of amped-up action movies in which Gerard Butler plays Secret Service agent Mike Banning, on Aug. 23, 2019

PREVIOUSLY: Gerard Butler is going to return for a third in the ‘Fallen’ franchise.  The next movie is going to be titled Angel Has Fallen.  Now this week it has been revealed that the latest addition to the cast is Tim Blake Nelson, although what role he will play is yet to be revealed.

The synopsis for the film has also been released.

In the third movie Agent Banning (Gerard Butler)  is framed for the attempted assassination of the president (Aaron Eckhart) and must elude his own agency and the FBI as he tries to uncover the real threat.

Possibly best of all though, the film will be directed by Ric Roman Waugh, director of Felon and Shot Caller.  I bet this threequel is going to be brutal as fuck!
