Gerard Butler Stars in Two Highly Anticipated Films: ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’ and ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Live-Action

Gerard Butler is set to captivate audiences in two significant roles in the coming months. First, he will reprise his role as Sheriff “Big Nick” O’Brien in the highly anticipated sequel, ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’. This film, directed by Christian Gudegast, follows the events of the first movie and takes the characters to Europe, where they become embroiled in a plot to rob the world’s largest diamond exchange. The sequel promises intense action and suspense, with Butler’s character potentially taking a villainous turn.

The poster for ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’, recently unveiled by Screen Rant, highlights the key cast members, including Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr., who returns as the ambitious thief Donnie Wilson. The film draws inspiration from real-life heists, such as the 2003 Antwerp diamond heist, and is set to release on January 10, 2025.

In addition to his role in ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’, Butler is also preparing for his part in the live-action adaptation of ‘How to Train Your Dragon‘. Recently, he shared insights into the challenges of wearing his costume for the film, describing it as heavy and sweaty. The costume reportedly weighs 90 pounds, adding to the physical demands of the role.

Butler’s diverse roles in these films showcase his versatility as an actor and his ability to take on complex and physically demanding characters. Fans are eagerly awaiting both films, each offering a unique cinematic experience.
