Universal had intended for “Darkman” to become a series, but the lack of explosion at the box office relegated future stories to direct-to-video releases. “We were probably thinking if it’d been successful, there’d be more,” Raimi said. Neeson didn’t return for the sequels, with Arnold Vosloo stepping into the role of Dr. Peyton Westlake/Darkman. Neeson hadn’t yet blown up into the massive action star he is today, which likely adds to the appeal of returning to the original world of “Darkman.” Raimi’s stock is the highest it’s been in years thanks to the new “Doctor Strange” flick, and Neeson is still a highly sought-after action hero.

“I don’t know if he’d do it,” Raimi said. “But he’d be incredible.” Fortunately, Neeson has already said that if the script was right, he’d be willing to make a return. The Darkman character is able to shift his visual appearance and take on a number of disguises, which would be incredibly easy to execute thanks to the massive technological advancements made since “Darkman” debuted in 1990. Watching Neeson continually transform would be an absolute blast, especially now that three decades have passed. Grittier, older, angrier Darkman? Shut up and take my money.
