Night Has Fallen

Night Has Fallen is the upcoming fourth installment in the Has Fallen action thriller franchise, starring Gerard Butler as Secret Service agent Mike Banning. Following the success of Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and Angel Has Fallen, the new chapter is expected to raise the stakes even higher as Banning returns to face yet another global threat.

Development for the film has been confirmed, with Gerard Butler returning not only as the lead but also as a producer. The director of Angel Has Fallen, Ric Roman Waugh, is expected to return, along with screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. While plot details remain under wraps, early comments suggest that the story will involve a major international crisis, potentially with Banning now serving as the head of the Secret Service or a senior government figure.

Production was delayed due to a combination of industry strikes and a previous legal dispute involving Butler and the production studio, but those issues have reportedly been resolved. While there has not been an official production start, fans are hopeful that filming will begin in 2025.

Though an exact release date has not been confirmed, unofficial reports suggest a tentative target of late 2025. If successful, Night Has Fallen could lead to at least two more sequels, forming a new trilogy centered around Mike Banning's evolving role and the escalating global threats he must confront.

Fan anticipation remains strong, though some remain skeptical due to the long development gap since Angel Has Fallen was released in 2019. Nevertheless, the Has Fallen franchise has built a loyal audience that values high-stakes action, political intrigue, and the relentless grit of its central hero.

In short, Night Has Fallen is still on the horizon — not yet filming, but very much alive. It promises to bring another round of explosive action and suspense, keeping Mike Banning’s fight far from over.
