 Eisenberg, who portrays the witty Daniel Atlas, recently told director Ruben Fleischer how excited he is to be back on the set.  The two collaborated on ‘Zombieland’, and Eisenberg commented on the film’s astounding scope, highlighting its remarkable settings and amazing illusions.  He even made a joke about nearly surviving the Budapest filming without getting hurt, only to break his finger in the process.

In a March 2024 interview, Eisenberg revealed that the script is ready and production is on the horizon, all shrouded in mystery. Much sooner than anticipated, filming ended in November 2024, and fans are excitedly anticipating the finished product.

 Another factor contributing to the excitement is the sequel’s creative team.  The previous films’ writers, Ed Solomon and Boaz Yakin, are returning with Seth Grahame-Smith, and ‘Zombieland’ star Fleischer is making a comeback behind the camera.

Regarding recent cast additions, June’s actor Ariana Greenblatt has been training for the part by going to magic school.  She even spent time learning actual feats from master magicians at the famous Magic Castle.  She seems to have inside knowledge of everything involving illusion for movies, which gives the enchantment on screen a more genuine feel.

The magic continues! With a fourth ‘Now You See Me’ film in the works, the franchise’s electrifying heists and captivating illusions promise to keep audiences spellbound.

 On 14th November, ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ will be released in theatres.
