"Now You See Me 3 Renamed, Sequel Confirmed"

Big news for fans of the "Now You See Me" series: the third installment, officially titled "Now You See Me: Now You Don’t," is set to hit theaters on November 14, 2025, as confirmed by Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during CinemaCon. Additionally, excitement builds as a fourth film is already in development.

Director Ruben Fleischer, known for his work on "Zombieland," "Uncharted," and "Venom," has signed on with Lionsgate to helm both the third and fourth movies of this successful action-heist franchise, which has already grossed $700 million worldwide.

The original cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman, will be joined by a new generation of illusionists portrayed by Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt. Rosamund Pike is also set to star in "Now You See Me: Now You Don’t."

Fleischer, reuniting with Eisenberg and Harrelson from "Zombieland," expressed his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “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.”

Bobby Cohen, the original developer and producer of the series, will continue his role alongside Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout. Meredith Wieck will oversee the project for Lionsgate.

Adam Fogelson praised Fleischer’s work, stating, “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.”

IGN previously reviewed the first two films in the series. "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."
