 Hollywood veteran Liam Neeson has ruled out his return to superhero movies as the actor says he is not a fan of the genre.<\/p>\n

The 67-year-old actor had famously portrayed the villainous Ra’s al Ghul in Christopher Nolan’s critically-acclaimed The Dark Knight trilogy.<\/p>\n

Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Neeson said that he is done with genre and has no desire to star in any superhero movie in the future.<\/p>\n

“I’m really not a huge fan of the genre. I think it’s Hollywood with all the bells and whistles and the technical achievements and stuff — which I admire — but I have no desire to go into the gym for three hours every day to pump myself up to squeeze into a Velcro suit with a cape,” the actor said.<\/p>\n

“I admire the actors and I know some of the actors who do it — and do it fantastically. It’s just not my genre, it really isn’t,” he added.<\/p>\n

Neeson also said that he is not looking to return to the Star Wars universe as well because the films are “quite exhausting” to shoot. The actor had portrayed Qui-Gon Jinn in George Lucas’ 1999 movie Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.<\/p>\n

“The first Star Wars, I was in that, that was 22 years ago, and I enjoyed that, because it was novel and that was new.<\/p>\n

“I was acting to tennis balls, which were ultimately going to be little fuzzy furry creatures and stuff. That was interesting, acting-wise, to try and make that seem real, but that was the last. It’s quite exhausting,” Neeson said. \t                   <\/p>\n
