Now You See Me 3 Trailer Gives Jesse Eisenberg A New Crew Of Thieving Magicians

The Four Horsemen are back for more card-counting, sleight-of-hand trickery, and cinema has officially been saved. Okay, that might be exaggerating a bit, but the third entry in the "Now You See Me" franchise has certainly been a long time coming. Not only have the decision-makers caved to fan pressure (and, arguably, common sense itself) by subtitling the movie with something as amusing as "Now You Don't," but they've brought back our favorite quartet of magic-obsessed rogues ... and, this time, they're not alone.

It's been almost a full decade since the last "Now You See Me" movie arrived in theaters, but our Robin Hood-like heroes appear none the worse for wear. After years of struggling to get another sequel off the ground, Lionsgate has just released a new trailer that seems perfectly aware of its own production history. What else would you call Jesse Eisenberg's showman J. Daniel Atlas kicking off the footage from the stage in front of a roaring crowd with a line as succinct as, "In the world of magic, everything that disappears ... reappears. It is very good to be back!," after all? That's just the beginning of all the illusionary action in store for fans, and you can check it all out at the link above.

Finally, Ethan Hunt has some real competition in the magic trick department. The first two "Now You See Me" movies might not have lit a fire under most critics (2016's "Now You See Me 2" earned itself a truly dismal 34% Rotten Tomatoes score), but moviegoers turned out in theaters just enough to convince Lionsgate not to give up on a third film to bring the franchise back on track. The movies have traditionally followed Jesse Eisenberg's Danny Atlas, Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, and Isla Fisher's Henley Reeves, but "Now You Don't" seems to begin with the group on somewhat poor terms. Or, as Danny himself puts it early on in the trailer with his usual deadpan delivery, "The other Horsemen are dead [...] like, dead to me. Things got too real for them. They gave up."

So, who could possibly step up to help fill in for our usual heroes in the meantime? That's apparently a task for newcomer actors Dominic Sessa ("The Holdovers"), Justice Smith ("I Saw the TV Glow"), and Ariana Greenblatt ("Barbie"), all of whom will be joining Danny on his next mission against a wealthy patron played by Rosamund Pike ("Saltburn"): a heist of an invaluable diamond used to help launder money for warlords, traffickers, and other unsavory characters. Of course, it wouldn't be a proper reunion movie if the original characters remained out of the action for long, making for an awfully crowded trailer pitting one generation of illusionists against the other in a team-up for the ages. In fact, the official synopsis goes so far as to hype this up as something audiences have never seen in movies ... ever. Yeah, seriously:

The Four Horsemen return along with a new generation of illusionists performing mind-melding twists, turns, surprises, and magic unlike anything ever captured on film.

We'll all find out for ourselves when "Now You See Me: Now You Don't" arrives in theaters November 14, 2025.
