Jacob Vargas joins the cast of Disney’s National Treasure Series

Jacob Vargas is joining the cast of Disney+’s National Treasure series.

The report of Vargas’ casting comes from Deadline which also provided some insight into the character that he will be playing. Vargas will be playing the character of Rafael, who is described as a “rugged, treasure obsessed, adventurous soul with a good sense of humor.” The report also says that Vargas will have a heavily recurring role in the series, so it is very likely that he will play a major part in the show’s story.

As previously announced, the series also stars multiple award-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (“Ocean’s Twelve”) as Billie, a badass billionaire, black-market antiquities expert and treasure hunter who lives by her own code; Zuri Reed (“Flatbush Misdemeanors”) as Tasha, Jess’ ride-or-die friend who joins the treasure hunt but is forced to reevaluate her belief system to help her best friend; Jordan Rodrigues (“Lady Bird”) as Ethan, Jess’ childhood best friend who has loved her since the day they met; Antonio Cipriano (“Jagged Little Pill” on Broadway) as Oren, a loveable but self-obsessed goofball with an encyclopedic knowledge of conspiracy theories that attempts to win back Tasha’s affections; Jake Austin Walker (“Rectify”) as Liam, a swoon-worthy struggling musician, with a permanent chip on his shoulder, who comes from a long line of treasure hunters. Jess recruits her friends to help uncover the truth about her parents and their connection to the treasure. Lyndon Smith (“Parenthood”) stars as FBI Agent Ross, who assists in the quest.

The series’ cast includes a returning face from the original films in the form of Justin Bartha reprising his role as the beloved character, Riley Poole.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Cormac and Marianne Wibberley, Jonathan Littman and KristieAnne Reed executive produce the series alongside Rick Muirragui, who also serves as a writer. Jon Turteltaub is also an executive producer. Mira Nair is directing and executive producing.
