Night at the Museum

On the data. Four films. There has never been a Night at the Museum television series, and the 2022 animated film is regularly miscategorised as one; it is a feature made for Disney+. Release order and story order are the same, and the films are unusually explicit about their own intervals. The second is set two years after the first. The third opens on a prologue in Egypt in 1938 and then jumps seventy six years, which is also five years after the second, and its epilogue jumps a further three. We have not been able to confirm which of those figures appear as literal captions and which are established in dialogue, so they are described here rather than quoted, but the intervals themselves are established in the films. Kahmunrah Rises Again is a continuation, not a reboot. Larry Daley appears and hands the job to his son Nick, and Teddy Roosevelt, Sacagawea, Jedediah, Octavius, Attila, Rexy, Dexter, Dr. McPhee and Laaa all return, Laaa being a character introduced in the third film, which anchors it afterwards. What it does not carry over is any of the cast: every part is recast, including Larry. It also contradicts the third film twice without comment. Secret of the Tomb ends with the tablet left permanently at the British Museum and Larry leaving the job to teach; in the animated film the tablet is back in New York with no explanation. And Kahmunrah was destroyed at the end of the second film, while here he is merely locked in the basement. No official statement has ever been made about whether the animated film is canon, so these are noted rather than resolved. Ben Stiller is not in the fourth film. Zachary Levi voices Larry. A separate live action reboot was announced in July 2025, set at a museum with entirely new characters and Ben Stiller not expected to return. It has no cast and no release date and is not listed. It is a different project from the animated film, which is a distinction people regularly miss. The franchise moved from Fox to Disney with the 2019 acquisition, so listings that still name Fox as the studio are out of date. Secret of the Tomb was Robin Williams' last live action release.
