‘National Treasure’ Star On The Finale Ending & Season 2 (Exclusive)

There was a second within the National Treasure: Edge of History finale the place it appeared like Rafael might not make it out alive. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Jacob Vargas about that intense finale second the place Jess, Rafael, and Liam have been caught in an explosion simply as they found the treasure.

“It was very touch and go for him, but I felt like there’s no way that Disney’s going to let Rafael go that easily,” Jacob advised HollywoodLife. “There’s so much to explore. There’s so much more for Rafael and Jess. They got like 20 years to make up for. Again, they’re both brilliant treasure hunters. They’ve both been tasked with protecting this treasure, so I’m sure there’s a lot for them to do.”

Rafael and Jess obtained the possibility to reunite after she broke him out of jail. The father and daughter have spent a major variety of years aside, however Jess has proven that she has her father’s adventurous spirit in her blood.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Jess realizes that she’s a lot more similar to her father than she thought she was as much as she didn’t want to accept it,” Jacob mentioned. “They have this thing in them where they need adventure. They need to be rebellious, and they need to kind of live on the edge of their seats.”

If the present does get renewed for a second season, Jacob can undoubtedly see Rafael and Jess happening “more adventures together. But at the same time, a lot of time has passed. They have to get to know each other.”

While Rafael is free, Billie is heading to jail. While it looks as if Billie’s treasure-hunting days are over, Jacob advised HollywoodLife that it could “be a shame to lose Catherine Zeta-Jones. It’d be great to have her back. She did such a great job with this character. She’s a black market dealer, and there are always treasures to be found. I feel like there’s more for her to do as well.” He added, “Billie and Rafael’s past to me is pretty fascinating as well.”

The first season ended on a little bit of a cliffhanger that hinted at an epic new journey to come back. Liam confirmed up on the exhibit and revealed that he discovered an previous cassette tape in his grandpa’s examine. He didn’t reveal what was on the tape, however there’s extra treasure forward, that’s for positive.
