The Naked Gun reboot cast continues to grow, as Liza Koshy, WWE superstar Cody Rhodes, and a handful of others have signed onto the project.
Koshy and Rhodes will be joined by CCH Pounder (Rustin) and music legend Busta Rhymes, all of whom will appear in the film in some fashion. Koshy is best known for being one of the biggest YouTube stars on the planet, and has also appeared in a number of films, including Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Rhodes is the current reigning WWE Undisputed Champion, while Pounder’s most recent role came in 2023’s Rustin.
According to a report from Deadline, the exact roles for each star is unknown, although they did note that Rhodes will only be making a cameo in the upcoming project. Aside from those four, The Naked Gun reboot will also star Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand and Danny Huston.
What do we know about the Naked Gun reboot?
While a Naked Gun reboot led by Neeson has been in the works for some time, Paramount announced last month that the film would finally debut in July 2025.
Akiva Schaffer is directing and executive producing the remake. He also co-wrote the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, while Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins are producing the movie.
According to Variety, the film will be based on the Naked Gun franchise as well as the television series Police Squad! Further plot details remain under wraps at this time.
Neeson has spoken about starring in the Naked Gun remake before. He told ComingSoon in 2022, “Well, I’m interested in comedy. Seth McFarlane has approached me about maybe, I think Paramount Studios had asked Seth, would he be interested in resurrecting in the Naked Gun series, or a film based on Naked Gun, so he asked me if I’d be interested in playing the Leslie Nielsen character, which are huge shoes to fill, so we’re hoping that’ll maybe come together in the next year or two years.”
The Naked Gun remake releases on July 18, 2025, from Paramount.
