3 Liam Neeson Action Movies That Deserve Sequels

LOS ANGELES, CA — Liam Neeson has been a significant presence in action films since his rise to fame in the 1980s. While he is now predominantly known for his action roles, there are several of his films that remain standalone efforts with potential for sequels.

Following the success of Taken, Neeson starred in various action movies in which his characters either met untimely deaths or experienced definitive conclusions. This article explores three films that still hold promise for sequels with Neeson potentially returning to his roles.

Firstly, The A-Team (2010) featured Neeson as John Hannibal Smith. Although not a massive success upon its release, a sequel has been discussed informally among the cast. Neeson, alongside Bradley Cooper and Quinton Jackson, could reunite under director Joe Carnahan, who is known for managing a balance of gritty storytelling and energetic pacing.

Next is A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014), where Neeson plays Matthew Scudder, a private investigator. Based on Lawrence Block’s series of novels, multiple storylines from the books could serve as material for sequels. The potential for further exploration of Scudder’s character provides a compelling reason for a sequel.

Lastly, there’s Cold Pursuit (2019). While it wraps up neatly, the character of Nels Coxman, played by Neeson, is ripe for further development. The icy action thriller genre has proven popular, and a follow-up focusing on Coxman’s vendetta against another gang could resonate well with audiences, even if the storyline differs from the original.

As Neeson continues to thrive in the action realm, fans might wonder which of these films will find their way back to the big screen.
