Hollywood's stalwart action figure and Northern Ireland gem, Liam Neeson, has finally addressed the Tinseltown rumblings: Would he reprise his roles in the Star Wars galaxy or dive back into the DC Universe? Neeson, candidly and in his own charismatic way, has a straightforward answer - it's a no.

A Star Wars Galaxy Far, Far Too Expansive!
Remember Neeson as the venerable Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn, in the ever-expanding Star Wars galaxy? So, when the latest buzz around Disney and Disney+ plotting new storylines and spinoffs surfaced, fans were abuzz with the million-dollar question: Would Neeson grace the universe once more?
"No. Star Wars, no," Neeson quipped during a chat with Men's Health. "As much as I admire them... There’s just so many of them now. So I’ve lost track, unfortunately.” Seems like even Jedi Masters can find the swarm of spinoffs a tad overwhelming!
From Gotham's Shadow to the Spotlight: Neeson's DC Endeavors
Switching galaxies to Gotham City, a curious fan threw a fresh curveball: Could Neeson be the antagonist in the much-hyped Robert Pattinson's The Batman?

The actor's witty response, reflecting on his past DC endeavors: “No, I’ve already done that in Batman Begins with Christian Bale,” he said. "I was Ra’s Al Ghul. He wasn’t really a bad guy. He was trying to reorganize the world as it needs to be organized.” Seems Neeson's view on his iconic role in Christopher Nolan’s 2005 Batman adaptation is a tad more philosophical than most!
The revelation comes at an intriguing time. The DC chatter is louder than ever with the upcoming sequel to The Batman set to dazzle audiences on October 3, 2025. And with the twist of DC Elseworlds introducing an alternative timeline, including fresh projects like The Brave and the Bold, one might think Neeson could be tempted. But alas, our former Ra's Al Ghul remains steadfast.
While Liam Neeson has ruled out his return to two of the entertainment world's most significant franchises, fans can find solace knowing he's probably cooking up his next big cinematic venture. And knowing Neeson, it will be nothing short of spectacular!
