Exciting updates for Now You See Me fans: Not only does Now You See Me 3 officially bear the title Now You See Me: Now You Don't, but plans for Now You See Me 4 are already underway.
The announcement came during CinemaCon when Adam Fogelson, Chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, took the stage to confirm the news while maintaining Now You See Me 3's scheduled release date of November 14, 2025.
Director Ruben Fleischer has officially signed on with Lionsgate to develop and helm a fourth installment of this successful action-heist franchise, which has already grossed $700 million worldwide.
The original films featured an all-star cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman. The third installment introduces fresh talent like Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt as a new wave of illusionists, with Rosamund Pike joining the ensemble.
Now You See Me: Now You Don't marks Fleischer's reunion with Eisenberg and Harrelson, who previously starred together in his breakout film Zombieland. The director's recent box office successes include Uncharted ($400M worldwide) and Venom ($850M globally).
Original producer Bobby Cohen returns alongside Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout, with Meredith Wieck overseeing production for Lionsgate.
Fogelson praised Fleischer's work: "Ruben has masterfully delivered the trademark twists and illusions fans love while elevating every aspect of the franchise. We're excited to showcase his vision for the third film and delighted he'll continue bringing his magic touch to future installments."
Fleischer shared his enthusiasm: "Directing Now You See Me: Now You Don't ranks among my most enjoyable filmmaking experiences. It blends two genres I adore – heist films and magic – and collaborating with this talented cast has been genuinely rewarding. Naturally, I'm eager to continue this journey."
IGN's reviews of previous franchise installments awarded the first film 6.3/10 ("Cool cast wasted on shallow characters and unconvincing plot") and the sequel 6.2 ("All spectacle with little substance").
