There are rumors that National Treasure 3 may finally be in the works, and that Nicolas Cage may play Benjamin Gates again in this high-stakes treasure quest. Disney has not commented, but new industry rumors indicate that the eagerly anticipated sequel may be closer than ever.

After years of uncertainty, insiders claim that a script for National Treasure 3 is being refined, with a fresh take on history-driven action and cryptic puzzles. The story is rumored to involve a long-lost artifact tied to ancient civilizations, possibly connected to the legendary city of El Dorado.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has previously expressed interest in continuing the franchise, and sources suggest that Disney is considering a theatrical release instead of a Disney+ exclusive. While the National Treasure spin-off series Edge of History had mixed reception, the studio might be looking to revive the original film series with its beloved lead star.
