And as immersive and fun as it may seem, finding yourself in the middle of two ancient titans duking it out isn’t the safest option.

Perhaps this is why Lucasfilm is bringing back the Taken actor for another go as his iconic character. Unfortunately, Neeson isn’t reprising his former role in live-action form.
