New images from DisneyPlus series NationalTreasure: Edge of History reveal a connection to Ben Gates, the treasure hunter played by Nicolas Cage:
History lesson: which treasure does Benjamin Franklin Gates use to read a hidden message on the Declaration of Independence in National Treasure? Along with Riley Poole and Abigail Chase , the treasure hunter and cryptologist uses a Benjamin Franklin invention giving him"the vision to see the treasured past": an ocular device with multi-colored x-ray lenses.
While Cage won't be reprising his role as treasure hunter Ben Gates in the TV series expansion of the movie franchise, Bartha and National Treasure co-star Harvey Keitel will be returning as their characters. 15 years after Gate's last historical adventure in 2007's National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets, the Disney+ series embarks on a new treasure hunt with puzzle solver Jess Morales . National Treasure: Edge of History tells the point of view of its young heroine, a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer in search of answers about her family — who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about the past and save a lost Pan-American treasure.
