: There is no official release date. Industry estimates suggest that if production begins soon, a theatrical release would not occur until 2027 or 2028 at the earliest. Available Official Content

: In March 2024, Cage seemingly shut down hopes for the film, stating to Screen Rant , "No, there is no National Treasure 3. If you want to find treasure, don't look at Disney, okay? It's not there".
