Big news for fans of the Now You See Me franchise: the third installment, officially titled Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, is set to hit theaters on November 14, 2025, as confirmed by Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, at CinemaCon. Excitingly, Now You See Me 4 is also in development.
Director Ruben Fleischer, who has helmed successful films like Zombieland, Uncharted, and Venom, has signed on with Lionsgate to develop and direct the fourth film in this action-heist series, which has already grossed $700 million worldwide.
The first two films featured stars such as Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman. The third film, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, will introduce a new generation of illusionists, including Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt, alongside returning stars Eisenberg and Harrelson, and new addition Rosamund Pike.
Fleischer's collaboration with Eisenberg and Harrelson marks a reunion since their work together on Zombieland. His recent successes, Uncharted and Venom, have further solidified his reputation in the industry.
Bobby Cohen, the original developer and producer of the series, will return to produce Now You See Me: Now You Don’t alongside Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout. Meredith Wieck will oversee the project for Lionsgate.
Adam Fogelson praised Fleischer's work, stating, “Ruben has delivered all of the twists and turns and sleight-of-hand that audiences expect from this franchise while upping the stakes and scale in every way. 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.”
Fleischer expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Directing Now You See Me: Now You Don’t was as much fun as making any movie in my career. It combines two of my favorite things — heist movies and magic — and working with this incredible cast was truly magical. Of course I want to keep it going.”
IGN's reviews of the previous films were mixed. The first film received a 6.3/10, with the review noting, “Now You See Me seemed so promising, but it squanders its cool cast and nifty premise on smarmy, shallow characters and a flimsy, nonsensical plot.” The sequel, Now You See Me 2, scored a 6.2, with the review stating, "Now You See Me 2 isn't the worst magic act in town, but it's all flash and no substance."
With the franchise continuing to expand, fans can look forward to more thrilling heists and magical performances in the upcoming films.
