Literature
The American translator Lawrence Ellsworth is currently translating The d'Artagnan Romances in its entirety, and he has also written a 2-volume novel called The Rose Knight's Crucifixion that is a parallel novel to The Three Musketeers, in which most of the characters from The Three Musketeers and Sir Percy Blakeney from The Laughing Cavalier and The First Sir Percy by Baroness Orczy appear. The protagonist's physical appearance, however, is based on Quasimodo from Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
In the book The Assault, The Three Musketeers is quoted in the Prologue as the protagonist had the story read to him by Mr. Beumer, a lawyer who later becomes senile and in morbidity.
Film and television
In Slumdog Millionaire, Jamal Malik's final question was to correctly identify the name of the third musketeer— which was Aramis. Jamal did so and won twenty million rupees.
In the film Django Unchained, one of the slaves, owned by Calvin Candie, is named D'Artagnan.
In the film ‘’The Worlds End’’, the group argue over if the three musketeers is fictional.
Video games
In Pokémon Black and White, the Pokémon Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion, known as the Swords of Justice, are based on the Three Musketeers. Cobalion represents Athos, Terrakion represents Porthos and Virizion represents Aramis.[47] The fourth Sword of Justice, Keldeo, represents d'Artagnan.[48]
Music
The Smiths song You've Got Everything Now features the line: "I've seen you smile, but I've never really heard you laugh" and is borrowed from a narrative description of Athos:
He was very taciturn, this worthy signor. Be it understood we are speaking of Athos. During the five or six years that he had lived in the strictest intimacy with his companions, Porthos and Aramis, they could remember having often seen him smile, but had never heard him laugh.
— Chapter 7, The Interior of the Musketeers[49]
Ppcocaine's song "Three Musketeers" shares little with the novel but its title.
