Less than fifteen years after the release of the second installment, fans are still hoping to see a third episode of the adventures of Benjamin Gates. And they risk being disappointed by Nicolas Cage’s comments on the subject.
Is the treasure hunt over for Nicolas Cage? Unfortunately, we have to believe so. On the occasion of the release of A talent in solid gold, in which he plays his own role, the actor confided in The Hollywood Reporter and the subject of the sequel to Volte/Face, currently in preparation and entrusted to director Adam Wingard, was notably mentioned.
And the status of a possible Benjamin Gates 3 hit the carpet, in the star’s response: “I haven’t heard of it”he explains about the follow-up to Volte/Face and his possible involvement. “A lot of times these things you hear about are just guesswork without any basis. I feel like it’s the same with Benjamin Gates 3. It’s been fourteen years [que le 2 est sorti]. But there is nothing there. But is it fun to think about? Sure !”
Nicolas Cage therefore kills two birds with one stone, and his answer may not surprise those who have followed the news. Because for a year, Disney has officially started a series derived from the saga, and the latter will be worn by Lisette Alexis.
If a cameo by Francis Ford Coppola’s nephew remains possible, this new version may sound the death knell for films, and the words of its star only confirm it.
Launched in 2004, the Benjamin Gates franchise stood out from the Indiana Jones by its playful side, since the hero hunted there for treasures thanks to clues hidden in elements of the History of the United States. And especially the Declaration of Independence.
Nicolas Cage will be Nicolas Cage in “A talent in solid gold”, on April 20 at the cinema:
