Liam Neeson earned a $20 million payday to return as Brian Mills in TAKEN 3 and if initial box-office reports are any indication, TAKEN 3 is well on its way to making some serious cash for Twentieth Century Fox. So that begs the question: Will we see a TAKEN 4 (or maybe you'd prefer T4KEN)? Money talks and fortunately for us, so does Liam Neeson. He recently spoke about what it was like to embark on a third journey and working with Forest Whitaker, of which you can check out here, but he also mentioned the possibility of a fourth venture.
Liam Neeson on whether or not he'd return for a TAKEN 4:
There’s always…I think if audiences go and see it and they like these characters, I mean, I'd love to do something with Forest again, and if it's in a TAKEN 4 scenario, great.
I'm sure this news is a surprise to absolutely no one, but there ya have it. Neeson seems to very much enjoy his action craze as of late and while I certainly don't mind the man busting some heads, I'd rather the Taken sequels were of higher quality. You can check out our review of TAKEN 3 here, but it doesn't exactly paint a pretty picture for those of you who enjoyed the first picture and not the second. On the flip side, any Liam Neeson is better than no Liam Neeson, and if this paves the way for him to star in films like THE GREY and A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES, that's an easy trade-off!
TAKEN 3 is now in theaters.
