These magicians didn’t just do tricks for fun – they pulled off huge heists using their skills in illusion, hypnosis, and sleight of hand. The movies were filled with action, clever twists, and of course, a lot of magic. But after the second movie, things kind of went quiet. Fans were left wondering: is there going to be a third movie or not?

Good news! It turns out Now You See Me 3 is coming, and we’ve got some cool updates about it. From the plot to the cast and the release date, here’s everything we know so far about this magical sequel. To be honest, it’s looking pretty exciting!

What is Now You See Me 3 About?

The first two movies followed the Four Horsemen, a group of magicians who use their magic skills to pull off some pretty impressive heists. But they’re not just stealing for the sake of stealing – they’re trying to right some wrongs, expose bad guys, and take down the corrupt people who think they can get away with anything.

In the second movie, the Horsemen face a huge problem when their biggest secret, The Eye, is exposed. The Eye is a secret society of top magicians, and they get tangled up in some crazy situations. 

Now You See Me 2 left us with some questions, especially about the future of the Horsemen and whether they’ll join or fight against The Eye. The third movie will likely pick up from there, showing what happens next.

Fans are hoping the movie will explore whether the Horsemen will join The Eye, or if they’ll stay independent and take down the powerful group. Either way, expect lots of magical tricks, mind-blowing heists, and, of course, more twists than you can handle. No one ever sees it coming in these movies, and Now You See Me 3 will probably be no different.

Who is Directing Now You See Me 3?

Now You See Me 3 was originally supposed to be directed by Jon M. Chu, who also directed the second movie. But in 2022, Chu stepped away from the project, and Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer took over.

Fleischer is the genius behind Zombieland and Zombieland: Double Tap—two films packed with humor, action, and unexpected surprises. He’s also worked with Now You See Me stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in those films, so he knows how to handle the funny and action-packed side of things.

What does this mean for the movie? Well, expect the same cleverness and humor you got in Zombieland, plus maybe a little more chaos. Fleischer’s style is perfect for this type of film – a blend of sharp wit, fast-paced action, and that unexpected humor that keeps you on your toes. So even though the director switch-up might’ve shocked some, it actually feels like a pretty solid move.

Who’s in the Cast of Now You See Me 3?

Now, here’s the part you’ve been waiting for, who’s going to be in the movie? Well, good news – most of the original cast is returning for Now You See Me 3. That means we’re getting back the Four Horsemen themselves:

Mark Ruffalo as Dylan Rhodes, the FBI agent who’s always a step behind the magicians but somehow ends up being a part of their crew. Jesse Eisenberg as J. Daniel Atlas, the super-smart, fast-talking magician who leads the Horsemen.

Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney, the mentalist and one of the main Horsemen. Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, the slightly less serious but still very talented magician. Moreover, Isla Fisher, who played the escape artist Henley Reeves in the first movie, is coming back for Now You See Me 3!

If you remember, she didn’t return for the second movie, but now she’s back, and fans are super excited. Henley was such a key part of the first movie, so it’s great to see her return. Of course, there are also some new faces joining the cast.

We’ve got: Ariana Greenblatt (from Barbie and Ahsoka). Justice Smith (from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves). Dominic Sessa (from The Holdovers). Who are they playing?

Well, that’s still a mystery, but we do know they’re going to add some fresh energy to the movie. Oh, and let’s not forget about Rosamund Pike! The Oscar-nominated actress is joining the cast, but we don’t know yet what role she’ll play.

When is Now You See Me 3 Coming Out?

After all these years of waiting, the movie finally has a release date! The big day is November 14, 2025. Yes, it’s still a bit far off, but at least we know when to expect the magic to return.

Why November? Well, November is the perfect time for big movies to come out. It’s just before the holiday season, which means a lot of people are ready to go to the movies and spend some time with their families.

Lionsgate is hoping this movie will do well during that time, and honestly, with the hype around Now You See Me 3, it seems like a smart choice. So, if you’ve been waiting for the next chapter in the Now You See Me saga, you’ve still got a little while to wait – but trust us, it’ll be worth it.
