“Taken 4: All You Need to Know About the Possibility and Updates”

The Taken franchise turned Liam Neeson into a surprise action hero, but could he return for a Taken 4 movie? Prior to accepting the lead role in Taken, Liam Neeson was coming off a series of projects where he played a mentor or father figure role, including Kingdom Of Heaven and Batman Begins.

Taken cast Neeson as retired CIA agent Bryan Mills, who travels to Paris to rescue his daughter from a human trafficking ring. The movie’s lean premise and fast-paced action, combined with Neeson’s charisma, turned Taken into a surprise word-of-mouth hit.

The actor returned again for Taken 2, which reversed the premise somewhat by having his character taken and his daughter having to rescue him and her mother, although he’s back in action for the third act.

Neeson vowed Taken 2 would be the end of the saga, but soon returned for Taken 3. This installment saw Bryan framed for his ex-wife’s murder, causing him to take violent action to clear his name. Despite its overwhelming popularity, Taken 4 has yet to materialize.

Taken 4 Is Not Confirmed

Taken 3 arrived in 2014, and in the decade since, several conflicting reports have surfaced regarding the fourth film. The third movie was a box office smash, but unlike the previous films, another sequel wasn’t rushed into production.

Instead, Liam Neeson insisted there wouldn’t be another Taken film back in 2016, and has seemingly stuck to that hard promise. Some online outlets reported the fourth film was in development, but no real news has surfaced. As such, Taken 4 is not confirmed and may never happen.
