In Ice Road 2, Neeson's McCann honours his late brother's last wish by travelling to scatter his ashes on Mt Everest.

"While on a packed tour bus traversing the deadly 12,000 ft. terrain of the infamous Road to the Sky, Mike and his mountain guide encounter a group of Nepalese mercenaries and must fight not only to save themselves and the busload of innocent travelers, but also the local villagers' homeland," Deadline reports.

Neeson was most recently seen on screens in Neil Jordan's noir thriller Marlowe.
