National Treasure 3 Gets Surprising Update

As a seasoned gamer of both movies and TV series, I must admit that the news about National Treasure 3 revival has stirred quite a bit of excitement within me. The addition of characters from Edge of History is a promising twist that could breathe fresh air into the franchise.


If National Treasure 3 eventually comes out, it’ll include both fresh and recurring characters from the initial two films as well as the short-lived National Treasure: Edge of History series. Although the latter received mostly favorable reviews on Disney+, it didn’t manage to attract a large enough audience, leading to its cancellation after one season. The series featured a young and diverse cast, including Justin Bartha reprising his role as Riley and Harvey Keitel as Sandusky from the original movies. In a recent interview, screenwriter Ted Elliot mentioned that Riley will play a significant role in the new script, and that the character’s growth throughout the TV series won’t be disregarded.

As a long-time fan of the film franchise, I must admit that the news about Sandusky’s passing and Keitel potentially not returning for the third movie has left me feeling a bit melancholic. Having grown up watching these movies, Sandusky’s character was an integral part of my childhood, and I can’t help but feel a sense of loss at his departure.

Elliot shared with ScreenRant that Riley has evolved significantly compared to other characters. He pointed out Riley’s transformation from an unknowledgeable audience member in the first film to an author on cryptohistory in the second, demonstrating a surprising grasp of historical facts that even Ben lacked. This growth, Elliot implied, is likely to continue, making it increasingly challenging to deliver history explanations since Riley now knows more. Additionally, Elliot mentioned his intention to redefine the FBI’s role, although he didn’t specify the exact changes.

As a devoted fan, I’m eagerly embarking on a unique journey with the FBI in this upcoming movie. While there will undoubtedly be the familiar elements of pursuit and upholding justice, I aim to introduce a fresh perspective on how they function. It’s not about drastic changes, but rather subtleties that make their operations just a bit more intriguing.

The movie “National Treasure” made its way to cinemas in 2004 and was both critically acclaimed and a box office sensation. In 2007, fans received the sequel titled “National Treasure: Book of Secrets,” which continued to attract audiences, although opinions were more divided among critics. Since then, whispers about a potential third film have persisted, with cast members like Nicolas Cage and director Jon Turtletaub expressing interest in reprising their roles. A TV series that premiered in 2022-2023 aimed to revive the franchise following the apparent stall of “National Treasure 3.” However, since the show’s debut, there appears to be a renewal of excitement for the sequel.
