"Now You See Me 3 Renamed, Sequel Confirmed"

Big news for fans of the Now You See Me franchise: the third installment has been officially titled Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, and a fourth film is already in development. This exciting announcement came from Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during CinemaCon. He also confirmed that Now You See Me 3 is set to hit theaters on November 14, 2025, as previously announced.

Ruben Fleischer, known for his work on Zombieland, Uncharted, and Venom, has signed on to direct Now You See Me: Now You Don’t and will also helm the fourth film. The franchise, which has grossed over $700 million worldwide, continues to captivate audiences with its blend of action and magic.

The first two films featured a stellar cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t will see the return of Eisenberg and Harrelson, joined by new talents such as Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, and Rosamund Pike.

Bobby Cohen, who developed and produced the entire series, will produce the upcoming films alongside Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout. Meredith Wieck will oversee the project for Lionsgate.

Fogelson praised Fleischer's work, saying, "Ruben has delivered all of the twists and turns and sleight-of-hand that audiences expect from this franchise while upping the stakes and scale in every way. We can’t wait for audiences to discover what he’s done with the third film and are thrilled he’ll be making even more magic with us."

Fleischer expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Directing Now You See Me: Now You Don’t was as much fun as making any movie in my career. It combines two of my favorite things — heist movies and magic — and working with this incredible cast was truly magical. Of course, I want to keep it going."

IGN's reviews of the previous films were mixed. The first Now You See Me received a 6.3/10, with the review noting, "Now You See Me seemed so promising, but it squanders its cool cast and nifty premise on smarmy, shallow characters and a flimsy, nonsensical plot." The sequel, Now You See Me 2, scored a 6.2, with the review stating, "Now You See Me 2 isn't the worst magic act in town, but it's all flash and no substance."

With the third and fourth films on the horizon, fans can look forward to more thrilling heists and mesmerizing magic from the Now You See Me series.
