Four years after the successful sequel, Lionsgate has confirmed a third Now You See Me movie.
Centred on a group of criminal magicians named The Four Horsemen, the first two installments starred incredible big-name stars; Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Dave Franco, and Daniel Radcliffe. And now, Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Eric Warren Singer has planned a heist to get them back together.
“Eric has always been fascinated with the fine art of deception and illusion in all of its forms. He came to us with a great story that takes the mythology of Now You See Me and pushes The Four Horsemen to a whole new level; with our key returning cast and new characters,” said Lionsgate chiefs Nathan Kahane and Erin Westerman.
“We built the Now You See Me franchise on keeping the audience surprised and guessing,” they continued.
“Any great magician knows, you can’t keep doing the same tricks. And Eric and his team of illusionists have something special up their sleeve for this new film.”
Although Lionsgate is yet to select a director for this one, Now You See Me 3 promises to be something magical; with Eric, who was an Oscar nominee for his work with David O Russell on American Hustle, on board.
As for the returning cast members, keep an eye out for further updates.
