Disney+’s ‘Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again’: Trailer, Release Date, Cast

Get ready to go back to the museum!

Almost 10 years since the last film came out, Night at the Museum is back and this time, animated. From Disney + comes the new movie Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again. And based on the trailer, it looks like it’s a lot of fun.

Like the past three films, Shawn Levy is still involved, though as producer, not as director. Instead, the director will be animator Matt Danner, whose credits include The Loud House and Johnny Test among others; he previously served as director and showrunner for the Disney XD show Legend of the Three Caballeros. The writers include Ray DeLaurentis and William Schifrin, who previously worked together on The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild.

What We Learned From The Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again Trailer:

The trailer for the new Night at the Museum film shows a new night guard on watch before being scared away by the dinosaurs and the world of the museum coming to life. As soon as he leaves the building, the artifacts (among them, Teddy Roosevelt) cheer before the real night guard Larry Daley (previously played by Ben Stiller – now Zachary Levi) enters. He’s leaving for the summer and needs someone to take over for him and the artifacts suggest his clumsy teenage son, Nick, would be perfect. From there, the trailer becomes all about Nick and his adventures within the museum, including a run-in with Kahmunrah, the evil artifact from the second movie Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Watch the trailer above for yourself just above.

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again Plot Synopsis:

On Disney +, the synopsis for the film reads:

“Nick Daley is following in his father’s footsteps as night watchmen at the American Museum of Natural History, and is familiar with the museum’s ancient tablet that brings everything to life when the sun goes down. But when the maniacal ruler Kahmunrah escapes, it is up to Nick to save the museum once and for all.”

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again Cast:

It seems that the original cast is not involved in this project, as Ben Stiller is not reprising his role as Larry Daley and of course the late Robin Williams was unable to take on his role as Teddy Roosevelt. Still, the cast is very impressive, with Zachary Levi as Larry (Tangled), along with Joshua Bassett as Nick (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), and comedian Thomas Lennon (Reno 911) now playing Teddy. Other actors include Community’s Gillian Jacobs, Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang, and White Lotus’ Steve Zahn.

When Does Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again Premiere?

The new Night at the Museum film is set to begin streaming on Disney + on December 9. In the meantime, you can get caught up on the last three films Night at the Museum, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb before then, as they are all available to stream on Disney +.
