And Famke Janssen, who played Neesons ex-wife, is also returning for the second go-round.
Below, Neeson speaks with EW about whats changing and whats staying the same for the sequel.
Anyone who has seen the original knows [SPOILER ALERT] theres a happy ending.
So where is Bryan Mills now, and how is his relationship with his ex and his daughter?
And then… [laughs] all this st happens, of course.
How much time has passed since he saved her?
NEXT PHOTO:Neeson makes sure sparks will fly.
A higher ante than saving his daughter from forced prostitution?
Whats happening to hernow?
That would definitely be a twist!
Yeah, I took out a lot of Albanian guys smugglers and sex traffickers.
They met grisly ends.
So last time he was seeking them out, and this time theyre onhistrail.
Imtaken lets put it that way.

Bryan Mills is fairly stoic.
Does he change much between the first film and this one?
Hes a bit mellower, I think.
He organizes the security situation.
Hes still retired from his special-forces group, but he takes private commissions.
Youll be 60 in June, yet youre now as serious an ass-kicker as any younger action star.
Whats your prep like?
I had to up my pushups and sit-ups.
Theres quite a bit of running, and quite a bit of fighting.
There are some real nasty bad guys here.
Where did the film shoot?
Itll be lovely to see Famke again, and Maggie.
We make a good team, the girls in my life.
Can we expect many more films in this series?
We joke about doingTaken 3,Taken 4,Taken 5, and so on.
Its funny to be doing this at 60.
I just hope my knees hold up.
Maybe inTaken 10thats what will go missing functioning joints.
[Laughs] Id better hold on to those.
