Famke Janssen has been cast to star opposite Liam Neeson again in next year's Taken 3.
In news that should satisfy any fan of Taken or other entries in the expanding “Liam Neeson Hits People in February” genre, Famke Janssen has been cast to reprise her role as Lenore, Bryan Mills’ (Neeson) ex-wife, in the upcoming Taken 3.
As reported by Deadline, the Dutch actress has closed a deal with EuropaCorp to star for the third time in the franchise opposite Neeson and Maggie Grace, who plays the two’s daughter. Forest Whitaker is also rumored to be appearing in the film, likely as a new bad guy if we had to speculate.
Janssen has had a long history of starring in action roles, including playing Dr. Jean Grey in the original X-Men trilogy and also very memorably portraying the bad Bond girl Xenia Onatopp in 1995’s GoldenEye.
Taken 3 is aiming for a 2015 release date.
