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

‘It's everything you want': Dave Franco teases Now You See Me: Now You Don't
Dave Franco has teased 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' will be "everything you want". The 39-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as street magician Jack Wilder in the upcoming threequel, and has now teased 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' will delight fans - with Rosamund Pike's new villain being a particular stand-out. Speaking to Collider, Franco said: "We got some new fun characters - we got an incredible villain with Rosamund Pike, who's just an absolute pro. It's everything you want." As well as Pike, 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' will introduce the next generation of magicians as portrayed by Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa. Meanwhile, Franco will be reteaming with his fellow 'Now You See Me' co-stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman. Reflecting on reuniting with 'The Four Horsemen' - as portrayed by himself, Harrelson, Eisenberg and Fisher - Franco pointed to the "natural camaraderie" they share, which he believes "bleeds through onto the screen". He said: "I've known this cast for nearly 15 years now, and we all genuinely love each other. There's no set that I laugh on more. "I just adore these people, and I think the natural camaraderie that we have kind of bleeds through onto the screen, and people can feel how much fun we're having." 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' - which is being directed by Ruben Fleischer - will see the return of 'The Four Horsemen', though they appear to be disbanded as a group in the early moments of the movie. Eisenberg's J. Daniel Atlas tells a new generation of illusionists his former team is "dead" in a trailer for the new flick, which is slated for release in November. He clarifies: "To me. Things got too real for them. They gave up stuff." The story of 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' revolves around a diamond heist, involving both the original Horsemen and newcomers played by Greenblatt, Smith and Sessa, as they work together against a criminal organisation. Greenblatt's character declares in the trailer: "I like our odds." The title for 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' was unveiled last month at CinemaCon, where Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson revealed Fleischer would also return for a fourth movie. Fogelson said: "We were so happy with the director's cut, we're already developing the next chapter. "We can't wait for audiences to discover what he's done with the third film and thrilled he'll be making even more magic with us." Fleischer added: "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."

US President Donald Trump orders 100% tariff on films made 'in foreign lands'
US President Donald Trump has announced that he is 'authorising' a 100 per cent tariff on 'all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands.' Describing internationally produced films as a 'national security threat', he added on Truth Social: 'We want movies made in America, again.' Mr Trump did not say that he would impose the tariff directly, explaining instead that he is authorising the US Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to institute the proposed tariff. Hollywood filmmaking has increasingly moved overseas and to Canada in recent decades, with many countries offering tax incentives to attract big budget productions. The Mena region, in particular, has become a hotspot for Hollywood film production, particularly in the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Morocco and Tunisia. More than 180 major productions have used Abu Dhabi as a filming location in recent years, including major Hollywood projects such as F1 and Now You See Me: Now You Don't, and blockbusters like Dune, Dune: Part Two, Sonic the Hedgehog and Netflix's 6 Underground and War Machine, as well as entries from the Mission: Impossible, Star Wars and Fast and Furious franchises. Abu Dhabi launched its rebate scheme in 2013 and updated it in January to allow productions to earn up to 50 per cent cash back, increasing its base subsidy from 30 to a minimum of 35 per cent. Other regional incentives include rebates set in Morocco at 30 per cent, Jordan at 25 per cent and Saudi Arabia at 40 per cent. It's unclear when the tariff will come into force or how it may affect production. The moviemaking process has become increasingly internationalised at multiple stages, including initial photography, editing and CGI development and rendering. It remains to be seen whether or not existing projects that have yet to be released, such as F1, will be subject to the proposed tariffs. Abu Dhabi Film Commission declined to comment on the proposed US tariff plan. The National also reached out to Saudi Arabia's Film AlUla and the Royal Film Commission of Jordan for comment. Mr Trump clarified to C-SPAN on Sunday that he's 'done some very strong research over the past week,' saying that the United States is 'making very few movies now'. He added: 'Hollywood is being destroyed. I'm not blaming other nations, but other nations have stolen our movie industry. 'If they're not willing to make a movie inside the United States, then we should have a tariff on movies that come in. And not only that, governments are actually giving big money. They're supporting them financially. That's sort of a threat to our country in a sense.' He added: 'This is a concerted effort by other nations and, therefore, a national security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda.' Mr Trump blamed California governor Gavin Newsom for Hollywood's inclination to make more frequently outside of the US, saying that he's 'allowed that to happen.' When asked for a response, a spokesperson from Newsom's office told the Hollywood Reporter: 'Looks like it's distraction day again in Washington.'

Now You See Me 3 Trailer: Why Was Mark Ruffalo Missing?
Fans noticed that Mark Ruffalo, who was supposed to reprise his role as Dylan Rhodes, didn't appear in the latest trailer of Now You See Me: Now You Don't. Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the third installment in the heist franchise marks the return of thieving magicians. While the over 2-minute clip showcased the major cast members, Ruffalo's absence from it has raised questions. So, why was the MCU star missing from the Now You See Me 3 trailer? Here are the details. No, Ruffalo doesn't appear in the Now You See Me 3 trailer. Ruffalo's Dylan Rhodes is a key character in the heist franchise, who was kept hidden in the trailer, and it might be for narrative purposes. The movie focuses on the Four Horsemen — Jesse Eisenberg as J. Daniel 'Danny' Atlas, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, Isla Fisher as Henley Reeves, and Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney — set to conduct another dangerous and greatest heist. However, this time, they are joined by newcomers in this mission. Ahead of the trailer release, a glimpse of the third installment was provided earlier this month at CinemaCon. At the time, Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson addressed what fans could expect from the upcoming release. He said, 'We can't wait for audiences to discover what [Fleischer's] done with the third film, and thrilled he'll be making even more magic with us.' (via Variety) Yes, Ruffalo is confirmed to return in Now You See Me: Now You Don't. The MCU actor might be missing from the trailer, but since his return has already been confirmed, he'll likely show up in the movie directly. At the end of the second installment, Dylan and the Horsemen escape the law. He then visits Greenwich Observatory and meets Allen, Li, and Bu Bu. There, he learns that their leader, Thaddeus, and his father, Lionel, were partners in magic. After sorting things out among them, Thaddeus passes on his mantle to Dylan. Meanwhile, the Horsemen are guided to an entrance to find out more about the Eye.
