The action-adventure treasure hunt film follows a cryptographer who solves puzzles to uncover treasures that are often tied to the political history of the US. The long-awaited update to the franchise is arriving almost 15 years after the last film’s release, National Treasure 3 opened worldwide in 2007.
Nicholas Cage plays the protagonist in the film while Justin Bartha plays his loyal friend and assistant. Diane Kruger plays Cage’s romantic interest in the film while Jon Voight and Helen Mirren play his parents. It is unclear whether the rest of the cast will reprise their roles along with Nicholas Cage for the sequel.
In 2018, reports stated that screenwriter Jon Turteltaub had written a script for National Treasure 3. The official confirmation regarding the director for the project is yet to be finalised by the producers.
