President Asher, portrayed by Aaron Eckhart, is not featured in Angel Has Fallen because, in the continuity of the series, he has retired from office.
After the events of London Has Fallen, President Asher concluded his term. According to the actor Aaron Eckhart, Asher stepped down and is now enjoying his retirement, reportedly "golfing somewhere." Given the unprecedented nature of a U.S. President retiring mid-term, it's widely understood that Asher served out the remainder of his presidency before transitioning to private life.
The Transition of Power
Following President Asher's departure, the presidential torch passed to Allan Trumbull, played by Morgan Freeman. Trumbull served as the Vice President under Asher during the events of Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen, making his ascension to the presidency a natural progression within the narrative.
The absence of President Asher marks a significant shift in the "Fallen" series' leadership dynamics, with Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) now serving a new commander-in-chief and facing an entirely different set of threats.
