Gerard Butler is set to return as a dedicated Secret Service agent in action movie Angel Has Fallen, which is scheduled to film in London and Bulgaria.

The movie is produced by Millennium Films and will follow Butler’s tireless agent Mike Banning as he fights terrorists on board Air Force One, the aircraft used by the US president.

Butler has played the role twice before in Olympus Has Fallen, following a similar premise in the White House, and London Has Fallen, which was set in the English capital. ‘Angel’ is the classified call name for Air Force One.

Angel Has Fallen will use Pinewood Studios as its UK production base but will shoot additional scenes on location in Bulgaria and at Nu Boyana Studios, which also hosted parts of both of Butler's previous Fallen movies.

Pinewood Studios is currently home to the rebooted Star Wars franchise and in the past couple of years has hosted The Mummy, Assassin’s Creed and, indeed, scenes for London Has Fallen.
