Meet the 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' Cast (and Find Out Where You've Seen Them Before!)
Now You See Me: Now You Don't will feature both new and old magicians. The third installment of the beloved Now You See Me franchise stars original cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco as the witty group of magicians called the Four Horsemen. Meanwhile, three younger magicians — played by Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith and Dominic Sessa — will join in on the fun, as well. In the teaser, released April 29, Eisenberg reprises his role as J. Daniel Atlas but needs to enlist the help of the three new magicians because his fellow Four Horsemen are "dead" to him. The younger and resident magicians will join forces and work alongside Morgan Freeman's character, Thaddeus Bradley, as they try to take down a group of criminals run by Rosamund Pike's character. Here's everything to know about the new and returning actors starring in Now You See Me: Now You Don't. Jesse Eisenberg will reprise his role as J. Daniel Atlas, an illusionist and street magician. In the first film, Atlas helped create the Four Horsemen and remained their leader for the second film. However, the group had a falling out, so in Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Atlas decides to forge ahead with three new magicians. Luckily for the new crew, the rest of the three Horsemen end up saving Atlas and his new magicians after they find themselves in trouble while trying to steal the "most valuable jewel in history." Related: Who Is Jesse Eisenberg's Wife? All About Anna Strout Eisenberg hasn't spoken too much about the third film, but he told GamesRader+ in October 2024, "Every day we walk onto set and pinch ourselves because the set pieces, the magic, the ensemble, it's really, truly miraculous." Off-screen, Eisenberg has been with his wife, Anna Strout, since 2001 and the couple share one child. Dave Franco returns to the franchise, once again, as Jack Wilder. He is the youngest member of the Four Horsemen and was a simple street magician and pickpocket before joining the group. Despite having a falling out with Atlas, Wilder surprises him when he suddenly appears in the midst of a theft gone wrong and candidly tells Atlas in the trailer, "[I'm] saving your a--." Related: Dave Franco and Alison Brie's Relationship Timeline When he's not on set, Franco spends time with his wife, actress Alison Brie, whom he married in 2017. Isla Fisher returns to the cast as Henley Reeves, the only female in the Four Horsemen. Reeves, who was once Atlas' assistant and ex, is a clever escape artist and stage magician. Related: Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's Relationship Timeline Now You See Me: Now You Don't marks Fisher's return to the franchise as she was unable to star in the second film, Now You See Me 2, because she was pregnant at the time. Lizzy Caplan, who played Lula May, was added to the cast as a fill-in for the Four Horsemen. Off-screen, Fisher was married to Sacha Baron Cohen from 2010 to 2024. The former couple share three children. Woody Harrelson reprises his role as Merritt McKinney, a mentalist and hypnotist. Despite being the oldest member of the Four Horsemen, McKinney often enjoys being unhelpful and playing with people's minds any chance he can get. Related: Who Is Woody Harrelson's Wife? All About Laura Louie When he isn't acting, Harrelson spends time with his wife of over 15 years, Laura Louie, and their three children. Mark Ruffalo, who starred as Dylan Rhodes in the first two films, was not shown in the trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don't, but he has been confirmed as a part of the cast. In April 2025, Variety noted that Ruffalo would be returning to the film in some capacity. His character, Rhodes, is an FBI agent who was trying to capture the Four Horsemen, but changed his motive after his history with magicians was revealed in the second film. Related: Who Is Mark Ruffalo's Wife? All About Sunrise Coigney Off-screen, Ruffalo is married to Sunrise Coigney. The pair married in 2000 and have since welcomed three children. Morgan Freeman is the last returning cast member who is confirmed to appear in Now You See Me: Now You Don't and was shown in the April 2025 trailer. Freeman plays Thaddeus Bradley, a former magician who worked behind-the-scenes to expose magicians' secrets and profit from solving their mysteries. Bradley is often one step ahead of both the Four Horsemen and the authorities. Related: All About Morgan Freeman's Children and Grandchildren "My Horsemen, you were brought together for a reason — to bring down two generations of criminals with a single sleight of hand," he tells the group in the Now You See Me 3 trailer. While he acts as a father figure in a lot of his roles, Freeman also has four children of his own off-screen. Rosamund Pike is in her villain era. Pike will make her Now You See Me debut as the wealthy leader of the Vanderberg crime family. "For decades, the Vanderbergs have been selling diamonds to warlords, arms dealers, traffickers to help launder their money," Atlas tells his fellow magicians in the Now You See Me: Now You Don't trailer. Vanderberg immediately goes to war with the Four Horsemen after they try and steal her beloved "heart jewel" in the upcoming film. She's seen meeting with fellow criminals and loading a gun in the teaser. Related: Who Is Rosamund Pike's Boyfriend? All About Robie Uniacke Off-screen, Pike has been dating Robie Uniacke since around 2009 and the pair share two children. Dominic Sessa stars in the Now You See Me franchise for the first time as Bosco, the leader of the new group of magicians. In the trailer, he pretends to be Atlas in front of an audience and even tells his fellow magicians, "My Atlas was spot on." Sessa became a breakout star when he made his acting debut in the 2023 film The Holdovers. He won a Critics' Choice Movie Award for the role and was nominated for a BAFTA Award. Sessa's acting career seems to just be getting started, as he was also cast as the late chef Anthony Bourdain in the biopic Tony. Ariana Greenblatt will make her Now You See Me debut as June, the only woman in the new group of three magicians. Greenblatt took the new role seriously and told Nylon prior to filming in August 2024 that she had enrolled at the Magic Castle — an academy for magic enthusiasts. 'I've been at the Magic Castle every other day, learning magic,' she told the outlet. 'My magic teacher is so awesome; he is one of the best ones. So I get to know all the magician tea.' Greenblatt got her acting start in the Disney Channel TV show Stuck in the Middle in 2016, but she rose to fame in 2023 when she played America Ferrera's daughter in the blockbuster film Barbie. Greenblatt has also had prominent roles in 65, In The Heights and Ahsoka. Justice Smith rounds out the new group of magicians and plays Charlie. Smith landed his first acting gig in 2014 when he appeared on the Nickelodeon comedy series, The Thundermans. He went on to act in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), Detective Pikachu (2019) and All The Bright Places (2020) alongside Elle Fanning. Read the original article on People

Now You See Me 3 fans get paid $119 to watch the trailer, yet most remain unimpressed: ‘A new level of desperation'
Few movies can make magicians look cool without making you cringe, but Now You See Me (2013) has done it twice! Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, and Mark Ruffalo, the magic-themed heist series has captivated audiences across the world. Now back for a third instalment with some new faces, joining the cast are Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, Rosamund Pike, and Justice Smith. The trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don't (finally, right?) just dropped, and here's what fans have to say. But before we delve into what people think of the trailer, there's another part of this whole saga that deserves our attention: the Times Square promo that had people checking their bank accounts in joy. Taken straight out of the script, one of the major promos behind the film, the makers live-streamed a mysterious billboard in Times Square on TikTok. And here's the twist: everyone who signed up for the livestream was Venmoed $119. Yes, you read that right. The movie magic turned into real cash, just like some of the most captivating scenes in the movie. According to Pop Crave on X, those who tuned into the broadcast saw their bank accounts magically grow by the exact amount. Unsurprisingly, the internet had… feelings about this. 'Paying people to see a movie is a new level of desperation and sadness,' one person declared. On the flip side, some folks were downright amazed. 'That's wild—literal movie magic turning into real cash!' another fan joked. 'Later it's gonna reverse and people are gonna have negative balances,' one fan quipped, referring to the main trick The Four Horsemen executed in the first film against billionaire Arthur Tressler. While many fans were happy to see their favourite Horsemen back in action with a few additions, others had questions. One commenter wondered: 'I'm not seeing Mark Ruffalo. I wonder what their excuse will be.' While some fans are genuinely curious about the absence of the beloved actor, others are getting suspicious. Could this be an intentional misdirect? Another fan put the whole vibe of the trailer into one sentence saying: 'This trailer looks like it was made in 2008.' One more fan commented, 'That is why I hate these movies. They want to be clever and slick but the writers aren't clever and slick enough to actually write them that way.' So, what's the final verdict? Is Now You See Me: Now You Don't going to pull off the impossible once again? Or has the franchise overstayed its welcome, with too many new characters, too many tricks, and not enough heart?
