Den of Thieves 3: A Fresh and Exciting Direction?
In a recent interview, Gerard Butler revealed that he has been pitched a new and unique idea for Den of Thieves 3, which takes the story to Africa and involves great adventure. Although the pitch was brief, Butler was excited by the potential of the film and expressed his enthusiasm for the project.
Butler, who plays the role of Big Nick in the Den of Thieves franchise, worked closely with Christian Gudegast, the writer and director of the series, on the first two movies. He praised Gudegast’s writing and direction, stating that they did something unique for a heist movie. Butler also expressed his admiration for his co-star O’Shea Jackson Jr., who plays the role of Donnie Wilson, and confirmed that he loves working with him.
The first two Den of Thieves movies, which follow the story of a jaded cop named Big Nick as he tracks down a crew of thieves, were both well-received by audiences and critics. The series has a strong cast, including Butler, Jackson Jr., and Curtis Jackson, and has spawned a successful franchise.
If the pitch for Den of Thieves 3 becomes a reality, it could mark another strong franchise offering from Butler, who has already been a part of successful trilogies such as the Has Fallen franchise and the How to Train Your Dragon movies.
The success of the Den of Thieves franchise has been attributed to its ability to inject fresh and exciting takes on its own narrative structures, making it likely that the third installment will follow suit.
