Now You See Me 3: Trailer, Release Date & Magic Money
Get ready for some mind-bending magic! The trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don't, the highly anticipated third installment of the illusionist heist franchise, has finally dropped, leaving fans spellbound. The film promises a spectacular return of the original Four Horsemen—Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher—alongside a fresh batch of young magicians.
A Magical Marketing Stunt
Before the trailer even hit the internet, Lionsgate pulled off a spectacular marketing campaign. A mysterious billboard in Times Square featured a countdown and a phone number urging viewers to "Text for Magic." Those who texted before the timer ran out received $119.16 in their Venmo accounts – a truly magical surprise! The randomness of the amount has fans buzzing with theories, adding another layer of intrigue to the film's release.
- The stunt generated significant buzz on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
- Many fans tried texting after the timer expired, but unfortunately, the magic ran out.
The Cast & Crew
The original Horsemen are back, reuniting after a period of apparent retirement. They’ll be joined by some exciting new faces: Rosamund Pike (Saltburn), Ariana Greenblatt (65), Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), and Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu). These newcomers will play aspiring magicians mentored by the experienced Horsemen. The familiar faces of Mark Ruffalo (as Dylan Rhodes) and Morgan Freeman (as Thaddeus Bradley) also return, although Ruffalo's absence from the trailer has already sparked online discussion.
- Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Uncharted) brings his signature blend of action and humor to the project.
- A strong writing team, including Ed Solomon and Boaz Yakin from the previous films, ensures a captivating script.
The Plot Thickens
The film's plot involves a grand heist—the theft of a priceless "heart diamond" from a corrupt family headed by Rosamund Pike's character. The trailer hints at mind-bending illusions, reality-bending stunts, and a deep dive into the shadowy world of the Eye, the secret magician society introduced in the previous films. The heist will pit the original Horsemen against a powerful criminal network.
A Long-Awaited Sequel
It's been nine years since the last Now You See Me film, leaving fans eagerly anticipating this new chapter. The title itself, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, is a playful nod to the franchise’s magic and deception, even creating a conversation years ago online about the name of the second movie.
- The previous films were box-office successes, grossing over $700 million worldwide.
- The success of the previous films has already set a precedent for the upcoming films’ success.
- A fourth installment is already in the works, showing Lionsgate's confidence in the franchise's future.
