Aaron Eckhart will not be reprising his role from Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen for Angel Has Fallen. 1 / 6

The actor was one of the three central heroes in the franchise, alongside Morgan Freeman and Gerard Butler. 2 / 6

While the news may seem odd, it makes sense - Eckhart's character is no longer president, and doesn't easily figure into this world any more. 3 / 6

Eckhart had discussed the news himself when the film was announced, so he was never due to appear. 4 / 6

There's the possibility this is because of contract troubles or other issues, but there's nothing concrete. 5 / 6
