On December 22, 2006, filmmaker Shawn Levy (Free Guy) introduced audiences around the world to the magical, hysterical, and surprisingly educational world of Night at the Museum. It follows the exploits of Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), a down-on-his-luck inventor and single father, who takes a job as a night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. It doesn't take long for Larry to discover that thanks to a magical tablet from ancient Egypt, all the exhibits in the museum come to life, which leads him to befriend various historical figures such as the adventurer President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), the native guide American. Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck) and the polite pharaoh Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek).
The film was a huge box office success, earning nearly five times its estimated budget of $110,000,000 USD, so a franchise on the horizon was no surprise. The first sequel, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), took Larry and his friends to the titular educational campus located in Washington D.C., where we met new allies like ace pilot Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams), as well as new enemies like Ahkmenrah's evil brother Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria), the latter of whom conspired to use the tablet to raise an army to conquer the mortal world. The trilogy concluded with Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014), which took our heroes to Britain, where they gave the franchise a little noose, giving it a surprisingly candid ending.
Although Secret of the Tomb seemed like the end of the franchise, it looks like it will be one of many intellectual properties that the Walt Disney Company wants to revive after acquiring 20th Century Studios. Later this year, audiences will be able to return to the magical version of the Natural History Museum with Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again (2022), an all-new animated sequel, this time following Larry's son as he assumes the mantle of guard night.
The offbeat sequel is set to release surprisingly soon, so to get ready to see Rexy and the gang again (this time in cartoon form), here's everything we know so far about Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again.
No trailer for the new movie has been released yet, but that's likely to change soon given that Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again is only a month away from release.
However, we got our first glimpse of the film via a screenshot. The image features Larry's son Nick Daley, now played by Joshua Bassett (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), who will take on the role of Jake Cherry (The Sorcerer's Apprentice), who played Nick in the first two films. and Skyler Gisondo (Licorice Pizza) who played him in the third. Nick is now an adult and wears the Night's Watch outfit as his father. The image also features familiar faces such as the dog-like Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton Rexy and the bubblegum-loving Easter Island head (Kelemete Misipeka), all of whom are rendered in 2D animated form by First time in the franchise.
Kahmunrah will officially rise once again exclusively on Disney+ starting Friday, December 9, 2022.
Although he won't be in the director's chair this time around, original trilogy director Shawn Levy will continue to take an active role on the project as a producer. Levy himself has praised the project for staying true to the original while offering something totally new, stating that it is "in a way its own thing, but very, very loyal to the legacy of those characters in that title." Also joining Levy as producers are Michael Barnathan (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), Emily Morris (Stranger Things) and Mark Radcliffe (The Christmas Chronicles).
Also part of the team are seasoned animation director Matt Danner (The Looney Tunes Show), The Fairly OddParents (2001-2017) writers Ray DeLaurentis and William Schifrin and original Night at the Museum writer Milan Trenc, and composer John Paesano (Daredevil).
