It looks like the magic is far from over for the Now You See Me franchise. After two successful films, it has been confirmed that Now You See Me 3 is officially in the works.
The first two films in the franchise, Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2, were both box office successes, grossing over $350 million and $334 million respectively. The films follow a group of magicians known as the Four Horsemen, who use their skills to pull off daring heists.
The third installment of the franchise is set to be directed by Jon M. Chu, who is best known for his work on Crazy Rich Asians and Step Up 2: The Streets. The script is being written by Neil Widener and Gavin James, who have previously worked on films such as San Andreas and Rampage.
The cast of the first two films is expected to return for the third installment, including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Lizzy Caplan. It is unclear if Mark Ruffalo, who played the role of Dylan Rhodes in the first two films, will be returning for the third.
The plot of Now You See Me 3 is being kept under wraps, but it is expected to follow the same formula as the first two films. Fans can expect plenty of magic, mystery, and suspense as the Four Horsemen attempt to pull off another daring heist.
Now You See Me 3 is still in the early stages of development, so it may be some time before we get any more details. However, with the return of the original cast and the addition of Jon M. Chu as director, it looks like the third installment of the franchise is sure to be a hit.
