Liam Neeson is back in the spotlight with several major projects slated for release in 2025 and beyond. Most notably, he stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. in the highly anticipated reboot of The Naked Gun, which will debut in theaters on August 1, 2025[7]. The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer and produced by Seth MacFarlane, featuring a star-studded cast including Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Liza Koshy, and Danny Huston[1][3].

Promotional material highlights Neeson’s comedic turn, following in the footsteps of the original’s iconic lead. He joins the Police Squad to “save the world” in this legacy sequel, which continues the legacy of the classic comedy franchise[7]. Neeson himself has spoken about the importance of rebooting the beloved series, expressing enthusiasm for entertaining new generations of fans[5].

In addition to The Naked Gun, Neeson is attached to several other upcoming films. One of the most anticipated is Cold Storage, a thriller based on David Koepp’s novel. In this film, Neeson plays a retired bioterror operative, Robert Quinn, who teams up with two facility employees to prevent the escape of a deadly, mutating microorganism from a military containment facility. The film co-stars Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, and Vanessa Redgrave and is currently in post-production, with a release expected in 2025[2][4].

Another future project is The Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky, where Neeson will reprise his role as ice road driver Mike McCann. The sequel takes McCann to Nepal to scatter his brother’s ashes, only for him to face new dangers from mercenaries on Mount Everest. The release date has not yet been set[2].

Looking ahead, Neeson is also set to star in films such as 4 Kids Walk into a Bank (April 2026) and Hotel Tehran (TBA), further cementing his status as a versatile and in-demand actor well into the next year[4][6].
