Coinciding with the release of the action threequel Taken 3, which is out in cinemas today, Yahoo! Movies caught up with Liam Neeson and asked about the possibility of Bryan Mills putting his particular set of skills to good use for a fourth outing in the franchise:
“I don’t think [the Taken franchise] can develop any more to satisfy audiences, but you never know,” said Neeson. “We’ll see. We’ll see how successful Taken 3 becomes. I can’t see there being a Taken 4 happening unless they take Bryan Mills and put him into something completely different, [a new] scenario with his buddies, you know his little covert group of military buddies.”
Of course, Neeson also said that Taken 3 would never happen, so don’t be surprised to see Taken 4 landing around this time next year…

Liam Neeson returns as ex-covert operative Bryan Mills, whose reconciliation with his ex-wife is tragically cut short when she is brutally murdered. Consumed with rage, and framed for the crime, he goes on the run to evade the relentless pursuit of the CIA, FBI and the police. For one last time, Mills must use his “particular set of skills,” to track down the real killers, exact his unique brand of justice, and protect the only thing that matters to him now – his daughter.
Taken 3 is out now, with Neeson joined by returning stars Famke Janssen, Maggie Grace and Leland Orser alongside Forest Whitaker (The Butler), Dougray Scott (Hemlock Grove), Sam Spruell (Snow White and the Huntsman).
