Nicolas Cage has definitively put an end to ongoing rumors about the third installment of the popular "National Treasure" series, stating that he will not be involved in this project.

This announcement has saddened many fans who were eagerly anticipating another adventure with Cage's iconic character, Benjamin Franklin Gates.

The experienced 60-year-old actor, known for portraying the treasure hunter in the 2004 and 2007 films "National Treasure" and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," addressed the speculation in an interview with ScreenRant.

Despite the enthusiasm of fans and the success of the previous films, Cage firmly stated, 'No, there is no 'National Treasure 3.' If you're looking for treasure, don't look to Disney, it's not there.'

Cage's decision not to continue with the "National Treasure" franchise comes as he has hinted at considering retirement from the film industry.

In recent interviews, including one with Vanity Fair, Cage expressed that he may have only three or four films left in his career and that he wants to be more selective in his choices. He emphasized, 'I feel like I've said what I have to say about cinema. I want to be much tougher and stricter in my selection process... I want to retire at the top.'

Reflecting on his father's passing at the age of 75, Cage acknowledged that he may have only about 15 more years to live.

This realization has led him to reevaluate his priorities in life, including his career decisions and the legacy he wants to leave behind in the film industry.
