For moviegoers hoping to get hoodwinked, the wait is over.
A new trailer dropped April 29 for "Now You See Me: Now You Don't," the third installment of a magician-focused franchise headed up by Jesse Eisenberg.
"It is really good to be back," Eisenberg tells a crowd in the teaser for the film, set to release Nov. 14.
Eisenberg, fresh off Oscar success with "A Real Pain," returns to his role as head honcho in a gang of heist robbers disguised as stage magicians. The original crew, which features Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco, will return for the third film, though their roles appear a bit more sparing.
In the first two films, released in 2013 and 2016, a group of magicians dubbed the "Four Horsemen" are seen as Robin Hood-esque, on the run from the law for devious ploys but motivated by a sense of justice all the same.

The trailer promises a fresh batch of recruits instead, as Eisenberg cycles in a clan of rookies − Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa and Ariana Greenblatt − to help steal the most valuable diamond in the world.
Rosamund Pike adds her name to the cast list, starring as a diamond seller whose family launders their profits through corrupt back-channels. Mid-heist, the remainder of the cast returns, rounded out by Morgan Freeman, who also grounded the original film.

Now as a band of eight, the crew is seen in a series of high-stakes puzzles and chase sequences, promising a film as action-packed as the first two, more than 9 years later.
"Eight magicians against a worldwide criminal network, I like our chances," Greenblatt says as the trailer draws to a close.
Halfway between action, thriller, and mystery, the franchise has carved out a loyal audience, endeared to Eisenberg's charismatic lead and the "what you see if not what you get," quality that grounds any good magic trick.
