Details on the filming locations for 'National Treasure: Edge of History'.

Will Nicholas Cage be in 'National Treasure: Edge of History'?

We know for sure that Harvey Keitel and Justin Bartha will be reprising their National Treasure film roles as FBI agent Peter Sadusky and computer expert Riley Poole respectively.

But what about Nicholas Cage? Will he make an appearance? (I mean, it would almost feel wrong not to have him appear in at least one scene, right?)

Per ScreenRant, Marianne Wibberly, one of the executive producers for National Treasure: Edge of History stated at SDCC 2022 that Nicholas will not appear in the first season.

However, not for nefarious reasons! The actor just didn't have enough time in his schedule when filming was taking place.

Could Nicholas return as Benjamin Gates in a future season of National Treasure: Edge of History? While there's no official confirmation before the series premiere, we would say never say never! (But also, let's never actually steal the Declaration of Independence in real life.)

The first two episodes of National Treasure: Edge of History will be available to stream on Disney Plus on Wednesday, Dec. 14th, 2022.
