If you grew up loving the Night at the Museum movies or just enjoy a good family-friendly adventure, here’s some exciting news: the franchise is coming back — with a fresh new reboot in the works at 20th Century Studios!
The original Night at the Museum movies, which began back in 2006, captured the imagination of audiences worldwide. The films followed Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller), a night guard at the Museum of Natural History who discovers that the exhibits magically come to life after hours. This unique blend of humor, history, and fantasy made the trilogy a massive hit, grossing over $1.3 billion globally and becoming a beloved classic for families everywhere.
Now, nearly two decades later, the franchise is set for a reboot — but this time, it won’t be about Larry Daley. Instead, the new film will introduce an entirely new cast of characters and bring fresh stories to life inside the museum’s magical walls.
One of the best parts? Shawn Levy, the director who brought us the original three films, is returning as a producer. His involvement brings a strong connection to the original’s spirit and humor. Joining him are producers Dan Levine and Emily Morris, and the script is being written by Tripper Clancy, who has experience with fast-paced, fun films like Stuber.
While the plot details are still under wraps, insiders hint that the reboot will introduce new historical figures and exhibits coming to life, creating all-new adventures that aim to capture the same magic and wonder fans loved before — but with a fresh twist for today’s audiences.
Unsurprisingly, the announcement has stirred up a mix of excitement and curiosity among fans. Some are thrilled to see the franchise get a modern makeover and can’t wait to meet the new characters. Others are a bit wary, hoping the reboot can live up to the charm and heart of the original trilogy.
As of now, there’s no official release date, and casting news has yet to be revealed. But with production ramping up, it won’t be long before we get a closer look at what this new chapter in the Night at the Museum saga has in store.
So, get ready for a brand-new journey where history literally comes to life — and the adventure inside the museum never stops, day or night!
