Liam Neeson Wants to Return as Ra's Al Ghul in 'Arrow' Season 3

At Comic-Con 2014 this year, The CW Network
revealed that the primary villain in Season 3 of
Arrow will be none other than Ra's al Ghul,
although the character hasn't been cast yet.
The villainous League of Shadows founder was
most notably played on the big screen by Liam
Neeson in Christopher Nolan 's Batman Begins.
MTV recently asked the actor if Warner Bros. or
The CW Network have approached him to play
the villain on Arrow . While he hasn't been asked
to reprise the role yet, the actor did say he
would play him again in a heartbeat.
"No, I haven't (been approached), I haven't at
all. I would, in a heartbeat, if it came my way,
yeah. Very much so."
Of course, Warner Bros. and The CW Network
have been keeping their movie and TV superhero
universes separate, so it doesn't seem likely
that Liam Neeson will return to play Ra's.
However, the actor did offer some advice to the
actor who will go on to portray the villain.
"They have to believe in their philosophy. Ra's
al Ghul absolutely believed what he was doing
was ultimately saving civilization, and it was
quite a good argument he comes up with.
Throughout the ages this fraternity, that brought
the plague to wipe out a section of mankind
because it needed to be regenerated again. Very
dangerous, but you have to believe it."
