Gerard shared that after Olympus debuted, he got an email from Robert revealing just how much of a fan he was.

“Robert Downey Jr. wrote me the nicest email after ‘Olympus Has Fallen.’ This is the same vibe,” he shared with Uproxx in a new interview. “He’s like, ‘We need more of these movies.’ These are the movies, when I was in New York as a kid, and people would shout at the screen and throw things and be like, ‘No!,’ and applaud and cheer. And I think that’s what this movie is, it’s a throwback to that, where literally you’re in the energy of the group, and everybody’s either terrified or cheering you on.’”

Gerard agrees with Robert‘s sentiments too.

“They’re fun. There are reasons that they’ve survived. There are reasons that audiences come out,” he says. “It’s like you say, it’s a throwback to the ’90s movies where you’re just like, ‘Come on!’ One other thing I got to say about the movie is it has a lot of elements in it. It’s a drama, it’s an action movie, there’s survival elements, it’s a disaster movie.”

Back in 2020, it was announced that a fourth Fallen movie was in development. However, no updates have been released on the status of it.
