Soooo down to eat a lot of popcorn, turn off my plot point detection, and go chasing some faux history with Cage

What are the odds this turns out to be a Disney+ exclusive?

I would keep our Disney+ subscription forever if it meant they kept putting out National Treasure movies.

The alleged holdup to now, beyond the cast costs now that they are all big stars and knew what the first two brought in, was finding a historical plot they could use. Will be interesting to see what they ultimately came up with.
I preach this everywhere because no one seems to know this, but the DOI version signed July 4 1776 was actually lost to history (It's called the fair copy). The one at the archives is from August when everyone got back. Just try and imagine what that would be worth if it actually turned up somewhere. Would be a cool plot point to use.

Why would they draw the invisible treasure map on the second one? You're messing with the Gates' family history. You're no better than Ed Harris' character in the second one.

In the end you learn Nicolas Cage was the national treasure all along
