Neeson

Christopher Nolan is bringing his Batman trilogy full circle, as "Batman Begins" star Liam Neeson has joined the cast of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' sequel "The Dark Knight Rises."Warner Bros. had no comment on the casting, which was first reported by HitFix.com, but sources tell Variety that Neeson will be reprising the villainous role of Ra's al Ghul and has already filmed a scene on location in London.Josh Pence ("The Social Network") was previously cast as someone who's believed to be a young Ra's al Ghul, while the blogosphere has also speculated that Marion Cotillard's character, Miranda Tate, could be revealed as a cover for Talia al Ghul, who figured prominently in the comics. Photos have also popped up online of what appear to be greenscreen Lazarus Pits, prompting many to believe that Ra's al Ghul will be resurrected in "Dark Knight Rises."Since starring in "Batman Begins," Neeson has been burning up the bigscreen. Irish thesp drove the action thriller "Taken" to a worldwide gross of more than $226 million and he also starred in "Clash of the Titans" and Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team." Neeson recently wrapped Carnahan's survival drama "The Grey," Universal's "Battleship" and a Jonathan Liebesman-directed sequel to "Titans."Neeson is repped by CAA.
