Best known for his roles in 1989's "Die Hard," "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," and, to a younger generation, the "Harry Potter" franchise, Rickman's impressive career spanned nearly three decades.

But his contribution to film isn't over — the late actor still has two very different films releasing later this year for fans to enjoy.

"Eye in the Sky"

The British thriller will star Rickman alongside Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren and Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad"). The film follows a drone mission gone awry with Rickman playing a Lieutenant torn between preventing a suicide attack and endangering innocent lives.

Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska will also reprise their roles. The sequel will be released May 27.
