Lionsgate is officially moving forward Now you see me 3 with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody HarrelsonAND Morgan Freemanwho will reprise all their roles from the first two films.

Poison director Ruben Fleischer will direct the film from a screenplay written by Assassin’s Creed‘S Michael Lesslie, who is working on a new draft of the screenplay. Previous drafts of the screenplay were written by Seth Grahame-Smith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) AND Eric Warren Singer (Top Gun: nonconformist, The American hustle). Alex Kurtzmann AND Bobby Cohen they will act as producers.

I actually liked the first two films in the saga. They’re not perfect, but they’re fun and I hope that this will also keep the audience entertained.

When the project was initially announced, it was said that the story would feature “the thieving illusionists known as the Four Horsemen” and would also introduce “audiences to a new generation of characters.”

The director previously said: “There are three things in this world that I absolutely love… Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and magic. Having the chance to work with these two talented actors, as well as the rest of the incredible cast of the Now You See Me films, is a dream come true. I’ve always been a fan of heist films: I love getting involved in the twists and the mystery where nothing is what it seems. And this is even more true when the thieves are magicians: the opportunities are endless. Eric was able to unlock a new and exciting way to get into a new movie and fun new characters, so I’m excited to delve into it even more.

According to Screen Daily, the studio will launch sales of the film project at the American Film Market (AFM), which runs from October 31 to November 5, 2023.
