Nicolas Cage’s National Treasure 3 gets an exciting update

Both national treasure the movies are a treat, and a third installment in the series certainly wouldn’t hurt. Nicolas Cage is the main star of these films in which he takes on the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, an American treasure hunter and cryptographer, and who wouldn’t be dying to see an adventure film with Nic Cage in it?

It’s been about twelve long years since we last saw a film from the franchise, considering the third installment is stuck in development hell. But after all these years, and even after Cage himself said a third movie probably wouldn’t happen last year, there’s a silver lining to which we can cling.

The script for the third film in the franchise is almost complete

Around April last year, Nicolas Cage hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) thread on Reddit, where a question popped up asking him if there was any possibility of a new national treasure movie, he replied-

“No, the priority was to make it a TV show so I would say probably not.”

Well that’s it boys, pack your bags and go home…just kidding, there is hope!

American film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently confirmed that the script for the third national treasure the movie is done. The producer revealed the information to ComicBook.com in a recent exclusive interview-

“Hopefully we’re working on the script right now. With a bit of luck [Cage] like it, but it’s really good. So I think we’ll get it to him shortly.

It looks like the wheels on the move need a little grease, and only Cage can deliver that with his seal of approval for the script.

That’s one thing, but will he appear in the TV series?

Although the franchise won’t get a third movie, it still has a proper TV series called National Treasure: Edge of History, which is currently in development. However, the question that arises here is whether Nicolas Cage will be part of it?

During an interview with Deadline, Marianne Wibberley opened up about Cage’s cameo on the TV series, and while it’s unconfirmed, the screenwriter said she would do her best to have him on the show.

“We will beg and plead and whatever. We’ll have it in two seconds. He’s our favorite actor of all. We introduced him as Ben Gates before he was Ben Gates. He was our first choice.

We hope the effort pays off, because it’s been years since we’ve seen Benjamin Franklin Gates, and we wonder what he’s up to today.

Both national treasure the films are currently available to stream on Disney+.
