Live Events Original Cast Reunites With New Generation The upcoming feature brings back familiar faces, including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman — all reprising their respective roles from earlier films, as per a report by Collider. However, this chapter also signals a passing of the torch to a younger generation of illusionists, portrayed by Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt. Rosamund Pike joins the ensemble as the film's central antagonist — a morally ambiguous figure with ties to a powerful criminal network. According to the official synopsis, the story follows the seasoned Horsemen as they mentor a group of newcomers in a plot to steal the 'heart diamond' from Pike's character in a daring, large-scale heist. Bigger Tricks, Bolder Stakes Set against a backdrop of international intrigue and digital-age deception, Now You See Me: Now You Don't expands the franchise's universe while retaining the mock-suspense and clever plotting that made the original films popular. The storyline teases an elaborate blend of illusion and misdirection, with a goal to expose and dismantle a global criminal operation. The film continues the tradition of tightly choreographed magic with high-tech heists, all while delivering visual spectacle and psychological gamesmanship that have become the series' hallmarks. Director Eyes Future of the Franchise Ruben Fleischer, best known for Venom and Zombieland , takes the helm for this latest entry. Lionsgate has confirmed Fleischer will also oversee the next installment, with a fourth film already in development. Commenting on the director's vision, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Adam Fogelson said, '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.' Franchise Momentum Builds Since the first film's debut in 2013, the Now You See Me franchise has earned a devoted fan base and over $700 million globally. With the release of Now You See Me: Now You Don't , Lionsgate appears poised to extend the franchise's lifespan while reimagining its appeal for a younger audience. The film will debut in theatres worldwide on November 14, 2025. FAQs What is the title of the new Now You See Me movie? The third film in the franchise is titled Now You See Me: Now You Don't . When is the movie being released? It is scheduled for theatrical release worldwide on November 14, 2025.
