The madness that will no doubt ensue in Olympus Has Fallen's second follow-up Angel Has Fallen is already underway from a production front. But there is still room for more cast, as Lance Reddick has joined the ensemble.

Gerard Butler is once again starring as Secret Service agent and trouble magnet Mike Banning, here questioning his life and career choices when he's the target of a frame job for an attack on Air Force One that threatens the life of President Allan Trumball (Morgan Freeman).

Reddick will be playing Gentry, the interim director of the Secret Service, who will no doubt butt heads with Banning. We'd caution that the job is not without its risks, as Angela Bassett's Lynne Jacobs could tell him... or would, if she hadn't died in the last film. He joins a cast that also includes Jada Pinkett Smith and Piper Perabo. Director Ric Roman Waugh is busy making things blow up and watching Butler punch people on set, with the film likely out next year.

As for Reddick, he's no stranger to action, having appeared in both John Wick movies. Next up for him are films such as Canal Street and Monster Party.
