Since National Treasure: Book of Secrets hit theaters in 2007, leaving us with a tantalizing cliffhanger involving a hidden page in John Wilkes Booth’s diary, audiences have been patiently waiting for Nicolas Cage to don that tweed jacket and whisper, "I’m going to steal the Declaration of Independence... again."
The window is closing. Nicolas Cage is 60 years old, and while he’s still in great shape, a high-action treasure hunt requires stamina. However, with the recent success of legacy sequels like Top Gun: Maverick and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny , Disney sees the dollar signs.
For nearly two decades, fans of the action-adventure genre have held onto a single, burning question: Where is National Treasure 3?
It’s a movie where the hero solves a 200-year-old riddle using a pair of glasses and a $2 bill. The stakes are high, but the tone is warm. We need Ben Gates fumbling through a secret tunnel while Riley cracks sarcastic jokes from a laptop van. I’d put the odds at 60/40 .
