TDKR: Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul Cameo Confirmed!

After denying that he is in the film--the recent production notes for this weekend's "Wrath Of The Titans" confirmed that Liam Neeson's next film would indeed be an appearance in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises" according to Comic Book Movie.

The isn't really a big surprise since Neeson had talked publicly about being on the TDKR set for a few hours to visit the production. But gave no indication one way or another whether he would appear on screen.

Cable network CNN asked Neeson about whether he will appear in the film. He told them "I think so. I have no idea what the story is about. Nothing. Nothing. Seriously, I'm not sure if I'm still in it. It's a cameo – let's put it that way – if it still survives [the cutting room floor].”


Neeson played the villain Ra's Al Ghul in 2005's “Batman Begins" and throughout the production of 'Rises' it was hinted that the character would appear in the film by way of flashback.

Christian Bale Tom Hardy Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Marion Cotillard Josh Pence, Alon Aboutboul and Nestor Carbonell star along with a return of the trilogy's ensemble cast such as Morgan Freeman Gary Oldman and Michael Caine Cillian Murphy might also be making a cameo

Matthew Modine Tom Conti Joey King Daniel Sunjata Diego Klattenhoff Christopher Judge "CSI: Miami" co-star Adam Rodriguez and Burn Gorman take on secondary roles. Rob Brown and Italian actor Massi Furlan have small roles in the film as well

Nolan called action on the DKR from a screenplay he wrote with bro Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Nolan and David S. Goyer that features Bane (Hardy) and Catwoman (Hathaway) plotting to take down Batman (Bale).

The sequel is set to hit theaters on July 20th, 2012.
