Starring as Mike Banning, a member of the US Secret Service, is Gerard Butler in the action thriller series Has Fallen. The movies Olympus Has Fallen (2013), London Has Fallen (2016), and Angel Has Fallen (2019) are part of the franchise. Additionally starring in the movies are Morgan Freeman as Speaker of the House and future President Allan Trumbull, and Aaron Eckhart as Benjamin Asher, the President of the United States.

The film series will continue, as Butler has signed on for three more feature films.

In November 2019, Alan Siegel announced that three additional Has Fallen films are in development. In November 2020, the fourth film, titled Night Has Fallen, was given the greenlight with Butler confirmed to reprise his role as Mike Banning in addition to serving as producer. Waugh will return to the series as director, with a script he co-wrote with Kamen. The project will be a joint-venture production between G-BASE, Eclectic Pictures, Campbell Grobman Films, and Millennium Media. Alan Siegel, Heidi Jo Markel, Les Weldon, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, and Yariv Lerner will also serve as producers.
