Now You See Me 3 new trailer, release date & everything we know

For years, fans have waited to see if Now You See Me 3 would ever be confirmed, and now it’s about to hit the big screen once again. Here’s all the latest updates, including the new trailer.

Now You See Me, a 2013 action movie about a group of bank-robbing magicians, was a surprise hit thanks to superb acting, colorful fight scenes, and an end twist that had most audiences begging the magician to reveal their secret.

Over a decade on and fans have been left wanting for more since the 2016 sequel. Thankfully, a new movie is on its way, and it’s reuniting all four of the original Horsemen (Isla Fisher was previously replaced by Lizzy Caplan).

Fans are closer than ever to getting back to the magic, and there’s a brand-new generation of tricksters ready to join the gang. Now You See Me 3 – fully titled Now You See Me, Now You Don’t – is here to play, so here’s everything you need to know.

Now You See Me 3 release date

Now You See Me 3 hits cinemas on November 14, 2025.

Lionsgate

The threequel was first announced back in 2015. Shooting took place in mid-2024, officially wrapping in November of the same year.

“We were so happy with the director’s cut, we’re already developing the next chapter,” Lionsgate‘s Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said at CinemaCon. “We can’t wait for audiences to discover what he’s done with the third film and thrilled he’ll be making even more magic with us.”

“It’s unbelievable. The cast is amazing. The story is so fun and complicated in a really fun puzzle way. It’s just a pleasure to be in these movies,” Jesse Eisenberg, who plays J. Daniel Atlas, told Entertainment Tonight.

Now You See Me 3 cast

Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco are confirmed to return in their main roles in Now You See Me 3.

Lionsgate

The full confirmed cast list looks something like this:

• Jesse Eisenberg as J. Daniel “Danny” Atlas
• Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney
• Dave Franco as Jack Wilder
• Isla Fisher as Henley Reeves
• Morgan Freeman as Thaddeus Bradley
• Justice Smith as Charlie
• Dominic Sessa as Bosco
• Ariana Greenblatt as June
• Rosamund Pike as Veronika Vanderberg

As we’ve touched on, Fisher did not reprise her original role in the 2016 sequel. Instead, Lizzy Caplan’s character joined the Four Horsemen group in her place. Caplan is also expected to reprise her role as Lula May in the third film. 

Mark Ruffalo’s FBI agent-turned-magician Dylan Rhodes and Daniel Radcliffe are also expected to appear in the threequel. Michael Caine, who was in the first two movies, is the only cast member to be confirmed as not returning due to his retirement from acting.

Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, Rosamund Pike, and Dominic Sessa are our brand-new faces this time around.

What will happen in Now You See Me 3?

As the official plot suggests, “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.”

Lionsgate

The plot details are still sparse, but we can expect a brand-new team of magicians to be leading the charge this time around. For unknown reasons, the Four Horsemen have become estranged in the years since we last saw them, and it’s up to Atlas to get them back together.

Why? So they can pull off the heist of the century, that’s why. Atlas wants to steal the Heart Diamond, hurting a family that has been selling them to warlords, drug dealers. Pike plays our antagonist, who is the target of said heist.

Now You See Me 3 trailer

Now You See Me 3’s official trailer dropped on April 29, 2025, which you can see below:

The same day, Now You See Me broadcast a countdown on TikTok – which we now know was for the trailer – in Times Square, New York. As well as the countdown, the sign read, “Text for magic: 315-669-8263.”

f you text the number now, nothing will happen. But those who texted it before the countdown finished found exactly $119.16 in their Venmo accounts (if they had one). The only reference was the word “Voila,” with a magic wand emoji.
