Los Angeles, July 9, 2025 – A new report has confirmed that Disney is officially moving forward with National Treasure 3, sparking excitement among fans as early-stage buzz picks up today. While specifics such as a release date remain under wraps, this development marks a significant step for the long-anticipated sequel to the beloved action-adventure franchise.

Industry outlets have been tracking the project’s progress, revealing key updates:

• Jon Turteltaub, the director behind the original 2004 film and its 2007 sequel Book of Secrets, is returning to helm the project and collaborate on its direction.

• Jerry Bruckheimer, the franchise’s longtime producer, is onboard and working alongside screenwriter Ted Elliott to craft the script.

• The original cast, including Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, and Harvey Keitel, are expected to reprise their roles, though formal confirmation of their involvement is still pending.

• The production remains in the scripting phase, with no shooting schedule or release date announced at this time.

🗺️ In recent years, Disney explored the franchise’s legacy through the Disney+ series National Treasure: Edge of History (2022–2023), a spin-off featuring a fresh storyline. However, the series, which did not include the original cast, was canceled after a single season, leaving fans eager for a return to the cinematic roots of the series.

This confirmation ends years of speculation about the third installment, which has been mired in development limbo since the last film’s release. The involvement of Turteltaub, Bruckheimer, and Elliott—combined with the intention to reunite the original cast—lends substantial momentum to the project. Nevertheless, with Nicolas Cage and other key actors yet to be officially locked in and the script still in progress, the film remains in its early stages. Fans will have to wait for further updates as the treasure hunt continues to unfold.
