On January 21, 2010, co-writer Thomas Lennon said to Access Hollywood, "I think it's a really outstanding idea to do Night at the Museum 3, in fact. I wonder if someone's not even already working on a script for that. I cannot confirm that for a fact, but I cannot deny it for a fact either... It might be in the works."[8] In an October 2011, interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stiller confirmed the sequel, however, he said that it was only in the "ideas stage".[9] It was announced in February 2013 that the film, directed by Shawn Levy, would be released on December 25, 2014.[10] On September 10, 2013, it was announced that shooting would start in February 2014.[11]
