He warned them once. He warned them twice. But now… it’s personal like never before. The first trailer for Taken 4 has officially dropped, marking the return of Liam Neeson as the legendary ex-CIA operative Bryan Mills in what is being billed as his final outing.
Titled Taken 4: Retribution, the 2026 action-thriller finds Mills drawn out of peaceful seclusion after an international crime syndicate linked to his past targets his daughter Kim and abducts his granddaughter during a family trip to South America.
The trailer opens with chilling lines: “I’ve saved my daughter before. This time… I’ll erase the world to protect her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.”
Directed by Pierre Morel, the original director of Taken (2008), this fourth installment doubles down on raw, grounded action, suspenseful international espionage, and emotional stakes. We see Neeson’s Mills operating off-grid, infiltrating jungle compounds, evading global intelligence forces, and delivering bone-crunching justice with his signature precision.
Key moments include:
-
A brutal one-take fight scene in a darkened alley
-
A car chase through the favelas of Rio de Janeiro
-
Mills facing an elite assassin played by Pedro Pascal, who taunts: “You taught me everything… and now I’ll destroy you with it.”
Maggie Grace returns as Kim, now a mother and tech consultant, while Ruth Wilson joins the cast as a hardened Interpol agent torn between arresting Mills and helping him.
Fans have reacted with overwhelming excitement, praising the trailer’s emotional depth, gritty visuals, and Neeson’s undying charisma. Hashtags like #Taken4, #BryanMillsReturns, and #GoodLuckFindingThem are trending across platforms.
Taken 4: Retribution hits theaters worldwide on February 13, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s Day—with a vengeance.
They came for his family again. This time, he’s taking them all down.
