Forest Whitaker Joins Liam Neeson for 'Taken 3'

Forest Whitaker is in talks to join Liam Neeson in Taken 3, according to a Deadline report. After the success of the first two installments, the wheels are turning on another sequel, with Neeson and Maggie Grace expected to return and Taken 2 director Oliver Megaton (yup, that's his real name) returning at the helm.

No word on who Whitaker will play. Between the first two Taken movies, Neeson has already killed an entire nation, so it makes sense that the franchise might move on to finding a new actor to play the villain. Not saying that Whitaker is playing the villain in Taken 3, though. Whitaker may be doing the taking. He could be getting taken. Maybe he's taking the takeners. As long as he doesn't tank the tankening, we'll be OK.
