Gerard Butler Wants You to Relate to His Action Heroes

GERARD BUTLER IS one of the few stars who can still get action movies into theaters based on his name and star power alone—and because of that, many may not realize just how great an actor he really is. Sure, it’s a joy to watch him blow people away as Mike Banning in the Has Fallen series or bend the law to his liking as Detective “Big” Nick Hathaway in Den of Thieves, but, as he’s aged, Butler has grown into playing the everyman quite well. When Greenland was released in 2020, at the height of COVID, we got to see him embody the role of a family man thrown into chaos as an apocalyptic comet hurtled to Earth.

Key Highlights

  • Now, six years later, Butler returns to once again play John Garrity—this time embarking upon a mission to rebuild an unrecognizable planet in Greenland 2: Migration. Disaster movies are a dime a dozen, and most people know the score at this point.
  • A catastrophic event, maybe a tornado or an earthquake, turns the Earth inside out as the masses run screaming into oblivion.
  • A lone hero, saddled with a group of stock characters, has to ride out the storm and save the day against all odds.
  • What made the first Greenland stand out, is that, yes, it had all of that, but director Ric Roman Waugh forced you to also sit in moments of quietness.
  • A family drama first, disaster movie second, Greenland allowed Butler to add a new wrinkle to his impressive skillset as an actor.
