In the third movie though, instead of having someone abducted, Mills' wife, played by Famke Janssen, is murdered near the beginning of the film leading to Mills being targeted as the killer and him having to go on the run while keeping his daughter, played by Maggie Grace, safe. Forest Whitaker also joins the franchise as a CIA agent looking for Mills.
Liam Neeson Reveals That Third 'Taken' Will Be The Last One, Renamed 'Tak3n'
While having a third movie may seem excessive, Neeson has done well with his action movies at the box office with moderate success from post-Taken hits like Non-Stop, The Grey, and most recently A Walk Among the Tombstones.
Between that and appearing in comedies like The Lego Movie and A Million Ways To Die In The West, Neeson has been eclectic as of late.
Neeson is currently in post-production for Tak3n and crime/drama Run All Night before filming roles in Ted 2 and A Monster Calls, which also stars Sigourney Weaver. He also will appear in Martin Scorsese's Silence with Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver.
