Lionsgate has announced a November 2025 release date for Now You See Me 3 – a few extra details right here.
It was all the way back in 2016 that we go Now You See Me 2, a film whose ending still seems to require a masters degree level of explanation. A fun film, but one that got over-complicated as it wrangled its plot.
The core idea – a bunch of magicians and illusionists using their skills to pull off heists – remains a good one. As such, Lionsgate has been chatting about pulling together a Now You See Me 3 for some time. It’s certainly taking its time getting it over the line, but filming took place earlier this year.
In the cast for the new film? Jesse Eisneberg, Isla Fisher, Arianna Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, Justice Smith, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman and Rosamund Pike are in the ensemble. The director’s chair has been handed over to Venom director Ruben Fleischer, and the script is currently credited to Seth Grahame-Smith, Gavin James and Michael Lesslie.
The strong suspicion was that we’d have to wait until 2025 to see the film, and that’s proven to be the case. In fairness, even though it’s taken us 200 words to get this far, we did give you the key information in the headline. No need to call the clickbait police just yet.
14th November 2025 is the date to mark in your calendar for the new film, then. Plot details are being kept under wrap as you’d expect for the time being.
The elephant in the room for Lionsgate will be if people remain invested in a franchise that’ll have been off screen for nearly a decade by the time Now You See Me 3 comes out. It’ll need to be as much a recruitment film as one that counts on a pre-existing audience. We wait and see…
