The 300 cast might not have dined in Hell, but Gerard Butler saw quite a few battle scars during production.

Speaking to People with O'Shea Jackson Jr. to promote their latest film Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, Butler looked back on several movies he starred in and the number of injuries he sustained across all of them. In 300's case, the actor said, "I remember every day somebody was getting taken to the hospital. You'd be doing a fight, you turn around, there's a guy down there, a spear went in his eye. Another time, you turn around, there's a guy over there who just fell, broke his ankle."

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera hit theaters recently and the film serves as a direct follow-up to the original 2018 heist thriller. Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. reprise their roles as Nick O'Brien and Donnie Wilson, the cop and criminal duo who can’t seem to rid themselves of each other. The first film follows Donnie and the crew he was brought into as their getaway driver. With ingenious plans to rob the Federal Reserve without anyone ever knowing, it turns out that Donnie was the one in control the entire time. After working as a local bartender near his intended target, he vanishes to Europe following the heist with everyone being none the wiser, except for Nick, of course. However, he doesn’t realize the grand scheme of it all until Donnie is long gone.

The second film picks up shortly after the first one ended.

Lionsgate is coming out swinging at the box office with the company's latest action film breaking a 2-year-old curse. The new sequel Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, featuring a returning Gerard Butler, has debuted strong with its theatrical premiere.

Per Deadline, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera has outperformed its expectations by earning $15.5 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. This win puts the Den of Thieves sequel as the No. 1 movie, and for Lionsgate, the feat is significant. Seemingly breaking a curse, this marks the company's first film since 2023's The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes to debut at No. 1. It's also Butler's first No. 1 opening since 2019's Angel Has Fallen, which debuted with $21.3 million.

As Den of Thieves 2: Pantera blasts its way into theaters on January 10, 2025, fans of the original may be surprised to see Big Nick O'Brien (Gerard Butler) defect to the other side. Then again, given how much the maverick leader of The Regulators bent the law and played by his own rules in the first film, perhaps his criminal turn isn't so shocking.

After all, Den of Thieves is most compelling when it parallels the criminal Outlaws, a gang of bank robbers, with the LAPD Regulators tasked with catching them, crystallizing the thin line between the heroes and villains. While it always seemed Nick was one step away from crossing the line, Butler has explained why the morally vexed detective lost his way and felt compelled to abandon the Regulators and join the Outlaws for a risky European diamond heist.

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera finally hit cinemas this weekend, but star O'Shea Jackson Jr. is already looking to the next sequel in the franchise. While it has taken seven years to see Jackson Jr. team up with Gerard Butler again, the latter has already hinted that a third movie will not take that long to make. With that in mind, Jackson Jr. recently told Variety about where he sees his character going in the next movie.

“I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: I’m trying to Vin Diesel this thing. To quote Ryan Reynolds, I want to work with Gerard until he’s 90. I just have so much fun doing these and Christian, Gerard, [producer] Tucker Tooley…I can’t express to them enough how I really feel because that’s just not what guys do, but I’ll tell you. When I was early in my career, after “Straight Outta Compton,...

The cop goes gangster in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. And if anybody can pull that off with grit and believability in equal measure, it’s Gerard Butler. The Plane and How to Train Your Dragon star reprises his role as Detective 'Big Nick' O’Brien from 2018’s Den of Thieves and brings along O’Shea Jackson Jr. again as the clever heist man, Donnie.

If the first film was an intricately produced cat-and-mouse heist in which a steely detective (Butler) desperately tries to catch a viable foe (Jackson), the second film is director/writer Christian Gudegast's attempt to shake the creative snow globe. He brings Big Nick to the inside of an elaborate European diamond heist and forces him to work with an unlikely partner: Donnie, the man he’s been after all along. That’s a groovy flip, sure, making Den of Thieves 2 2025’s first subversive buddy movie.

I remember when heist movies had memorable characters and scenarios. Den of Thieves certainly didn’t and its only slightly better follow-up, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, tries at the very least, though its efforts ultimately fall flat. The film has less action, which isn’t a bad thing since it builds up suspense for the actual heist and its aftermath, and more talking. Whereas the first film was more gritty and violent, the sequel is more polished and developed. But it’s also the same amount of underwhelming, failing to fully launch despite an intriguing setup.

Sheriff "Big Nick" O'Brien tracks Donnie Wilson to Europe after his daring escape. As Donnie becomes deeply involved with diamond thieves and the Panther mafia, the stakes rise with a plan to rob the world's largest diamond exchange. The film promises intense action and suspense across international borders.

Release Date January 10, 2025Genres Thriller,...

In 2018, Den Of Thieves delivered the goods and was a ballsy attempt to rob the unrobbable Los Angeles Federal Reserve. It did modest but respectable business globally considering its limited ambitions, and that apparently was just enough to justify a sequel. In Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera, Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson Jr. and company head to Europe for another brazen robbery, this time at the top-security World Diamond Center in Nice, where the cop and the crook join forces to penetrate a thief-proof vault full of valuable deposit boxes with millions of dollars of jewels including an uber-desirable pink diamond stolen from the Mafia who wants it back. It’s complicated.

Ditching the L.A. locations of the first (actually doubled by Atlanta), this turns into a lush European and more...

Gerard Butler didn’t have the best time filming Den of Thieves 2: Pantera as he shot the movie “with a freshly torn Acl.”

In a new interview, the actor revealed that he filmed the action-intense movie while injured.

“This was a weird time for me at the beginning of this movie because I’d been through a pretty intense surgery, and then I tore my Acl fully about a month later and then started this movie,” Butler told Entertainment Weekly.

He continued, “So I was not in the best shape, and it was a pretty physical movie, and I didn’t have a chance to get the surgery on my Acl, so I made this movie with a freshly torn Acl, and it was pretty rough. But yeah… I wanted to put a ‘but’ in to make it sound positive, but it wasn’t positive; it was a nightmare...

Even without speaking to him, it's clear from his vibrant performance that Detective “Big Nick” O’Brien from the Den of Thieves movies has become one of Gerard Butler’s favorite roles. Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. return as Detective “Big Nick” O’Brien and master thief Donnie Wilson, respectively, in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, the sequel to their 2018 action-heist hit. The movie delivers its fair share of big twists as director/writer Christian Gudegast expands the franchise’s world and its creative scope.

In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Butler said playing Big Nick stands out among his long list of characters in films like How to Train Your Dragon, Plane, Angel Has Fallen, and others, although he has one favorite character that can't be surpassed:

You know, you can't get [better] than Leonidas [from 2007’s 300]. Something like that is obviously incredible.

About The Film

Genre: Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller Starring: Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson Jr.

Despite the first movie’s success and plenty of demand for a sequel, it’s taken seven years for Den of Thieves 2: Pantera to come to the screen — but there’s a reason it took so long. The writer-director behind the first movie, Christian Gudegast, is back at the helm of the sequel. Den of Thieves 2 will see Gerard Butler’s Big Nick back on the trail of O’Shea Jackson, Jr.’s Donnie Wilson, who’s planning yet another heist in Europe based on the 2003 Antwerp diamond heist.

In addition to Butler and Jackson, the Den of Thieves 2 cast features Antonio Bustorff, Cristian Solimeno, and Dino Kelly. The original Den of Thieves was released on January 19, 2018, and the sequel is arriving just under seven years later to the day on January 10, 2025. The sequel is just as action-packed and engaging as its predecessor, and the ending packs even...

Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. return for a Den of Thieves sequel, and the options for where to watch Den of Thieves 2: Pantera vary over time. Butler and Jackson Jr. joined forces for an action/heist movie in the vein of Michael Mann's Heat back in 2018. Despite the mixed-to-negative response from critics, Den of Thieves found an audience at the box office and became a cult favorite. That allowed a sequel to happen with Den of Thieves 2's cast once again headlined by the two main stars of the first film as some new faces join them.

The story of Den of Thieves 2 revolves around Butler's Nick "Big Nick" O'Brien turning away from his life serving the law and joining forces with Jackson Jr.'s Donnie to pull off a new heist. Leaving the streets of Los Angeles behind for a European setting, the Gerard...

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera ransacks theaters on January 10, 2025, giving audiences another daring bank heist seven years after The Outlaws robbed Los Angeles' Federal Reserve. Although The Outlaws' leader, Ray Merrimen (Pablo Schreiber), will not participate in the risky overseas robbery, a handful of characters from the original return for more hyper-violent action as the story moves overseas to London.

Written and directed by Christian Gudegast, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is a direct sequel to the 2018 original bank robbery crime thriller. Aside from several supporting players, at least one main character on each side of the law returns to the sequel, continuing the cat-and-mouse rivalry between The Outlaws and The Regulators. Here's who'll come back in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.

Movie icon Gerard Butler is going to stay busy for a while if the filmmakers of Den of Thieves 2: Pantera get their way. In a recent interview with MovieWeb to discuss the sequel to the hit 2018 heist action thriller, director Christian Gudegast and producer Tucker Tooley were eager to tell us how excited they were about the new film and how it falls into a bigger plan for a larger Den of Thieves universe. In fact, Tooley was quick to note:

“We already have a whole idea of what we're doing next. I don't want to give the plot away, but the design here from the original film to this one to the next one was to be a franchise and to be a franchise about incredibly detailed and clever heists with real people… you know, actors that you relate to.

Lionsgate is here to give you a shot in the arm with the latest trailer for its highly-anticipated action-thriller Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. Directed and written by Christian Gudegast, the Den of Thieves 2: Pantera trailer presents a balls-to-the-wall diamond heist in Europe, with ‘Big Nick’ O’Brien (Gerard Butler) and Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) burying the hatchet for a bullet-chewing-caper that could set them up for life.

Here’s the official synopsis for Den of Thieves 2: Pantera:

In Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, Big Nick is back on the hunt on the mean streets of Europe, closing in on Donnie, who is embroiled in the dangerous world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia, as they plot a massive heist of the world’s biggest diamond exchange.

Jordan Bridges, Swen Temmel, Evin Ahmad, Yaen Zates Atour, Salvatore Esposito, Orli Shuka, and Rico Verhoeven star alongside Butler and Jackson Jr.

It pays to switch sides. Angel Has Fallen and 300 star Gerard Butler finds himself on the wrong side of the law in the explosive new trailer for next years highly anticipated action crime drama Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. Butler returns as the gruff Detective Nick "Big Nick" O'Brien, who turns his back on the L.A. County Sheriffs Department and leaves justice behind, joining the very criminal hes been tracking across Europe.

You can check out the new trailer for Den of Thieves 2: Pantera below.

Released back in 2018, action fans have been eager for the return of Butler as Big Nick ever since. While the first outing was met with a mixed response from critics, Den of Thieves was a big hit with audiences, earning a worldwide total of $80.5 million against a production budget of $30 million and was praised by many as a return to the old-school action crime sagas of yesteryear.

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is the long-awaited follow-up to writer/director Christian Gudegasts 2018 crime thriller Den of Thieves. The sequel once again stars Gerard Butler as Sherriff Big Nick OBrien and OShea Jackson Jr. as the ambitious thief Donnie Wilson and is set after the events of the first film, which saw Wilson pull a huge heist out from under O'Brien's nose. While the first film was set in Los Angeles, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera promises to tell an international story and bring its primary characters to Europe, and its trailer even teases something of a villainous turn for Butler's character.

Over the course of his nearly 30-year career in film, Gerard Butler has staked his claim as one of the kings of the mid-budget action movie. The Scottish actor has been a mainstay on movie screens since his American breakout in 300 back in 2007, and while most of his movies are met with indifference from critics, he remains a solid box office draw, anchoring films that frequently outperform their modest budgets. But besides bigger franchises like How to Train Your Dragon or the trilogy of Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and Angel Has Fallen, few of them have warranted making a sequel, though that's about to change with the upcoming Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.

Rhiannon Lewis is immediately introduced as a ticking timebomb of a character in Starz’s Sweetpea. The series opens with the inner dialogue of the protagonist, played by Ella Purnell, rattling off a list of people she’d like to kill as she feigns a smile in her interactions with said individuals that suggests she might one day make her sadistic wish come true.

Audiences don’t have to wait long. By the end of the first episode, she’s found her first victim in a random man she crosses paths with in the park late at night. His inability to watch where he drunkenly pees is the final tipping point for Rhiannon who’s just come from confronting the woman she blames for all of problems at a club nearby: high school bully Julia Blenkinsopp (Nicôle Lecky).

Rhiannon’s last words to the man whom she later finds...

The sensational Ella Purnell is swiftly becoming one of the small screen's most dazzling and dynamic talents, with the gifted actress appearing in a slew of critically acclaimed hits like Yellowjackets, Arcane, and the post-apocalyptic knockout Fallout. Purnell continues to showcase her impeccable range as a performer and her fearless approach to any character she tackles, impressing audiences everywhere yet again with her delightfully wicked role in the dark dramedy series Sweetpea.

The edgy and immersive show focuses on the timid Rhiannon Lewis, who, after becoming tired of being constantly taken for granted and overlooked by society, decides to shake up her lackluster existence and finds comfort in a spine-tingling outlet: murder. Rhiannon goes on a violent killing spree, hunting down those who have wronged her and making them pay in a truly gruesome manner.

Fallout star, Ella Purnell, has a habit of choosing bloody and horrific stories and characters, but her new show Sweetpea took the actress to her darkest place yet. The new series, based on the novel of the same name by C.K. Skuse, follows an innocent and easily ignored young woman called Rhiannon. Fed up with being overlooked at work and ignored by her boyfriend and everyone around her, Rhiannon fills her hours with a brand-new hobby... murder.

Purnell wanted to convincingly play a woman who slowly shifts from innocently pacifist to a serial killer, and went to some dark places in her research. Speaking to Variety, Purnell recalled an interaction on a flight with the passenger next to her. Desperate to fill the time with research, she pulled out her laptop, and was shocked when the lady next to her accidentally caught a glimpse of her search history. She...

Six years after the first movie, Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera unites a drastically different cast. The first film follows elite detectives trying to stop a crew of ex-Marine thieves from robbing the Federal Reserves. As for the sequel, it takes the story to Europe, while promising higher stakes in the process.

Following Den of Thieves' ending, both of the first movie's co-leads are back to reprise their roles. But while OShea Jackson Jr. and Gerard Butler are returning, their dynamic won't be the same, as the sequel will put a twist on the cat-and-mouse trope by teaming them up. Another change pertains to the cast; Den of Thieves 2 looks to be surrounding them with an unfamiliar cast of supporting characters.

Season 2 Episode...

Stars: Scott Adkins, Ashley Greene, Waleed Elgadi, Ryan Phillippe, Emmanuel Imani, Dino Kelly, Jack Parr, Jess Liaudin, Lee Charles | Written by Jamie Russell | Directed by James Nunn

One Shot is both the title of the new Scott Adkins film, it’s also the film’s gimmick and reason for being made in the first place. Director James Nunn, working from a script by Jamie Russell, has given us a feature-length action film shot in one continuous take.

Needless to say, One Shot keeps the plotting to a minimum. CIA operative Zoe Anderson has been assigned to bring terrorist Amin Mansur (Waleed Elgadi; Agatha and the Curse of Ishtar) from a Black Site to the US for questioning. The base’s commander Jack Yorke doesn’t think that’s a good idea and is refusing to release him.

Lt. Jake Harris (Scott Adkins) and his team, Whit (Emmanuel Imani; Hold the...

There’s a whole lot of ammo going blammo over the course of “One Shot,” an action movie couched as a battle in real time between Navy SEALs and insurgents on a U.S.-controlled, Guantanamo-style island detention facility, presented in what appears to be a single, continuous shot.

Of course, as in other recent films like “Birdman” and “1917,” the “real time” is an illusion created by hard-to-detect editing together of several long, elaborately blocked individual shots — this movie was shot in 20 days, not 90 minutes. Still, director James Nunn’s reunion with star Scott Adkins does effectively use that device to heighten immediacy in an effort that may not transcend their usual B-grade, adrenaline-fueled macho fare, but does bring some welcome novelty to the genre.

Seal Lieutenant Jake Harris (Scott Harris) has been emergency-tasked with flying a CIA representative to an ambiguously located high-security isle whose unwilling guests represent a “United Nations of terror,...

"We screw up and one of these guys hurts the homeland, it's all over CNN!" Screen Media has launched an official trailer for an action film titled One Shot, which is indeed a "one shot" movie with a continuous long take. But it's from a filmmaker you've probably never heard of, who hasn't made anything worth watching before this. An elite squad of Navy Seal's, on a covert mission to transport a prisoner off a CIA black site island prison, are trapped when insurgents attack while trying to rescue the same prisoner. The action looks solid, but the rest of it looks extremely cheesy, not to mention a plot involving torture tactics to try and get intel out of a guy who doesn't seem to have any knowledge to offer. One Shot stars Scott Adkins, Ashley Greene, Ryan Phillippe, Emmanuel Imani, Dino Kelly, Jack Parr, and Waleed Elgadi. It's also...

This Inside No. 9 review contains spoilers.

There’s old school comedy of the ‘Frank Spencer roller-skating under a lorry’ kind, and then there’s old school comedy of the ‘clowns, dukes, ruffs and rhyming couplets’ variety. The Inside No. 9 series six opener draws on the latter, improbably combining 16th century commedia dell’arte with a modern-day jewel heist. It’s proof, if any were needed, that there really is no formula to this show. Peculiarity is its only genre.

Commedia dell’arte sounds complicated because it’s Italian, but so does bruschetta, and that’s just tomato on toast. The term describes a form of historical theatre using a group of stock characters wearing masks and doing gags around a familiar plot.

‘Wuthering Heist’ explains its conceit early on with a self-aware to-camera monologue by Columbina, a servant played by the always-great Gemma Whelan. She tells us the reason...
