The 2025 sequel toDen of Thievesbrings Butler back as the tough and somewhat goofy Big Nick.

Before playing Big Nick, one of his most prominent roles came in theHas Fallentrilogy.

News of more movies coming first arrived in late 2019, only a few months afterAngel Has Fallencame out.

It could now come down to figuring out if he’ll makeNight Has Fallenbefore or afterDen of Thieves 3.

He can absolutely headline action movies and entertain audiences in the process.

That’s mainly due to how different Mike Banning is from Big Nick.

This is a guy who ate a donut from a crime scene, after all.

But he’s also not the most likable character or a true hero.

Mike Banning is a more typical protagonist that Butler can return to playing.
