Liam Neeson, best known for his intense action roles and iconic performance is stepping into a very different kind of role with the upcoming The Naked Gun reboot set for 2025.
Neeson’s last movie was Retribution (2023), an action thriller where he once again showcased his signature tough-guy persona. However, fans might be surprised to see him embrace comedy in this reboot, which promises a fresh take on the bumbling police force led by the legendary Frank Drebin in the original films starring Leslie Nielsen.
The Naked Gun franchise is famous for its over-the-top gags, visual puns, and deadpan delivery. The 2025 reboot reportedly features a new police squad navigating ridiculous cases with plenty of slapstick humor. Early trailers hint at outrageous scenarios — including a memorable scene involving ladies’ underwear — that pay homage to the original’s irreverent style while updating it for modern audiences.
Critics are already buzzing about The Naked Gun 2025, with early reviews praising its blend of nostalgia and fresh comedy. While some purists remain skeptical about rebooting such an iconic series, many agree that Liam Neeson’s unexpected comedic turn adds a unique twist that could win over both longtime fans and newcomers.
As anticipation builds, audiences can look forward to a wild ride filled with laughs, absurdity, and classic police squad shenanigans when The Naked Gun hits theaters next year.
