Why didn't Eckhart and Mitchell reprise their roles?

Aaron Eckhart and Radha Mitchell appeared in the previous movies as the president and Leah. Why didn't they reprise their roles?

Probably because the first one was terrible, I looked it up and couldn't believe that this is the third film in the series. How on Earth was there a sequel, I'll never know.

I enjoyed both films as well. They broke out of the usual Hollywood paradigm of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.

As Aaron Eckhart always says "You either leave a franchise or you stay long enough to see the hero become the villain".

Aaron Eckhart wasn't needed as his character was clearly no longer President. But yeah, they could've tried to get Radha Mitchell back.
I also enjoyed this series, particularly the first one. But seems like Nolte and Huston are both typecasted, I'm sure I've seen them in very similar roles before.

NOLTE CAN PLAY THAT ROLE FOR THE REST HIS LIFE AND I WILL BE HAPPY.

I didn't know this was a series. (I asked a question about that here, but then found the answer in another thread.) So I went back and checked to see if I had watched/rated either Olympus or London. Turns out I gave Olympus a 4/10 and hadn't seen London. I gave this one a generous 5/10 as a popcorn flick, but I'm sure I will have forgotten it soon enou...wait, what was I talking about again?

While I liked this film, I liked the first two a lot better.
