"Now You See Me 3 Renamed; Sequel Confirmed"

Big news for fans of the Now You See Me franchise: Now You See Me 3 has been officially titled Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, and a fourth installment, Now You See Me 4, is already in development.

The exciting announcement was made on-stage at CinemaCon by Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. He also confirmed that the release date for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t remains set for November 14, 2025.

Director Ruben Fleischer, who has signed on to develop and direct the fourth film, brings his expertise to the franchise that has grossed over $700 million globally. Fleischer, known for directing hits like Zombieland, Uncharted, and Venom, will reunite with stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson from his debut film, Zombieland, for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. The third installment also features new talents Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt as a fresh generation of illusionists, alongside Rosamund Pike.

Bobby Cohen, the original developer and producer of the series, will produce Now You See Me: Now You Don’t 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."

Fleischer expressed his enthusiasm, 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."

IGN previously reviewed the first two films in the series. Now You See Me received a 6.3/10, with the review stating, "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." Now You See Me 2 scored a 6.2, with the review noting, "Now You See Me 2 isn't the worst magic act in town, but it's all flash and no substance."

With the third and fourth films on the horizon, fans can look forward to more thrilling heists and magical performances from this beloved franchise.
